Just coming up for 15 00:01:35,095 --> 00:01:38,455 Speaker 3: eight minutes after six on what was proving to be 16 00:01:38,495 --> 00:01:42,135 Speaker 3: a very lovely Sunday. It was a beautiful, beautiful glimpse 17 00:01:42,175 --> 00:01:44,255 Speaker 3: of a sunrise that I saw on my way in 18 00:01:44,255 --> 00:01:48,095 Speaker 3: this morning. Pretty spectacular moon with the clouds last night 19 00:01:48,135 --> 00:01:51,615 Speaker 3: as well, high tide late in the evenings. It's all 20 00:01:51,655 --> 00:01:54,455 Speaker 3: sounding pretty good. So if you've got a project that 21 00:01:54,575 --> 00:01:59,095 Speaker 3: is underway that you would like to talk about, discuss, argue, 22 00:01:59,135 --> 00:02:01,495 Speaker 3: maybe have a bit of a debate about which products, 23 00:02:01,495 --> 00:02:05,255 Speaker 3: which methodology, how to find good trades people, how to 24 00:02:05,335 --> 00:02:09,615 Speaker 3: keep things on bud. All things construction and building related 25 00:02:09,695 --> 00:02:12,135 Speaker 3: we can talk about on the show this morning, as 26 00:02:12,175 --> 00:02:14,095 Speaker 3: we always do here at news Talk s HEDB on 27 00:02:14,135 --> 00:02:16,415 Speaker 3: a Sunday morning. Very good morning. My name's Peak wolf Camp, 28 00:02:16,455 --> 00:02:19,535 Speaker 3: the resident builder, and this is a show all about 29 00:02:19,575 --> 00:02:22,855 Speaker 3: your place. So if like me, you had a couple 30 00:02:22,895 --> 00:02:25,295 Speaker 3: of little projects on during the course of the week, 31 00:02:25,655 --> 00:02:28,095 Speaker 3: or you've got a couple little lined up for the 32 00:02:28,095 --> 00:02:31,695 Speaker 3: weak ahead. Now I'm going to say I'm going to 33 00:02:31,695 --> 00:02:34,335 Speaker 3: be doing vapor barrier. This is part of Healthy Homes 34 00:02:34,375 --> 00:02:37,815 Speaker 3: Compliance on a project this week, But that would only 35 00:02:37,855 --> 00:02:41,255 Speaker 3: be partly true. To be fair, I have a couple 36 00:02:41,335 --> 00:02:44,135 Speaker 3: of guys coming to help me to do vapor barrier, 37 00:02:44,935 --> 00:02:47,535 Speaker 3: and I suspect that I'll be really honest, they will 38 00:02:47,535 --> 00:02:50,735 Speaker 3: spend more time crawling around under this particular unit than 39 00:02:50,815 --> 00:02:55,775 Speaker 3: I might be. I am, therefore supervision, coordination, management and 40 00:02:55,895 --> 00:03:00,975 Speaker 3: oversight rather than I've done my dash. I think crawling 41 00:03:01,015 --> 00:03:04,295 Speaker 3: around underneath houses, I will probably be in there. We've 42 00:03:04,295 --> 00:03:06,055 Speaker 3: got to clear out the space, We've got a level 43 00:03:06,095 --> 00:03:09,575 Speaker 3: air off, We're going to install a vapor barrier down 44 00:03:09,615 --> 00:03:11,975 Speaker 3: there's already under floor insulation that's been done on this 45 00:03:12,015 --> 00:03:14,615 Speaker 3: particular property, and then we'll have a bit of a 46 00:03:14,655 --> 00:03:17,575 Speaker 3: tidy up under there. Because it's amazing what ends up 47 00:03:17,615 --> 00:03:18,575 Speaker 3: under the house, isn't it. 48 00:03:18,935 --> 00:03:19,135 Speaker 4: You know? 49 00:03:19,215 --> 00:03:24,175 Speaker 3: Typically it becomes the storage space in a flash way 50 00:03:24,215 --> 00:03:26,655 Speaker 3: of looking at it. But typically it's just a dumping 51 00:03:26,695 --> 00:03:28,815 Speaker 3: ground for stuff that you couldn't be bothered taking down 52 00:03:28,855 --> 00:03:32,615 Speaker 3: to the tip. Or if you are like me, and 53 00:03:32,775 --> 00:03:36,015 Speaker 3: there will be many who are for our sins, it'll 54 00:03:36,015 --> 00:03:40,095 Speaker 3: be old need that one day. There will be that 55 00:03:40,135 --> 00:03:42,455 Speaker 3: piece of timber, there will be that offcut, there will 56 00:03:42,495 --> 00:03:45,535 Speaker 3: be I've put underneath the house the other day, like 57 00:03:45,735 --> 00:03:48,935 Speaker 3: one quarter of a bag of pea straw. Now, why 58 00:03:49,015 --> 00:03:51,575 Speaker 3: didn't I just use it up right? Oh no, no, no, 59 00:03:51,655 --> 00:03:53,135 Speaker 3: I might be able to use that later on. I 60 00:03:53,255 --> 00:03:55,735 Speaker 3: just pop down underneath the house with the half a 61 00:03:55,775 --> 00:03:58,335 Speaker 3: bag of sap seven probably an old bag of cement 62 00:03:58,415 --> 00:04:02,655 Speaker 3: that's rock solid by now, But it's all underneath the 63 00:04:02,775 --> 00:04:06,655 Speaker 3: saying that the other day someone did say to me, look, 64 00:04:06,655 --> 00:04:09,295 Speaker 3: we've got this little repair. I need a particular type 65 00:04:09,295 --> 00:04:11,895 Speaker 3: of molding, and what they call an eve's molding, which 66 00:04:11,935 --> 00:04:13,655 Speaker 3: looks like a bit of quarter around with a square 67 00:04:13,815 --> 00:04:16,575 Speaker 3: edge on it. It's a typical sort of villa detail. 68 00:04:17,335 --> 00:04:19,215 Speaker 3: We've just got a little rotten bit of that right 69 00:04:19,215 --> 00:04:21,535 Speaker 3: at the end of the eve. Do you know where 70 00:04:21,535 --> 00:04:23,495 Speaker 3: I can get it? And I was like, oh, stand 71 00:04:23,575 --> 00:04:26,775 Speaker 3: by caller, straight underneath the house and there it was 72 00:04:26,895 --> 00:04:29,135 Speaker 3: a piece that I had left over from a job 73 00:04:29,215 --> 00:04:33,575 Speaker 3: from oh, I don't know, fifteen twenty years ago, but hey, 74 00:04:33,775 --> 00:04:35,455 Speaker 3: I used it up and felt pretty good about that 75 00:04:35,495 --> 00:04:37,735 Speaker 3: as well. So if you've got a little building project 76 00:04:37,735 --> 00:04:40,055 Speaker 3: that is going on that you'd like to talk about, 77 00:04:40,135 --> 00:04:42,775 Speaker 3: or a big building project that you'd like to talk about, 78 00:04:43,055 --> 00:04:45,895 Speaker 3: or perhaps you'd like to talk about compliance and regulation, 79 00:04:45,975 --> 00:04:48,015 Speaker 3: we can do all of that on the show this morning. 80 00:04:48,335 --> 00:04:52,615 Speaker 3: If you have any particular painting questions, one of our 81 00:04:52,655 --> 00:04:56,255 Speaker 3: painting experts, which is Bryce McDermott, regular contributor to the show, 82 00:04:56,655 --> 00:04:59,695 Speaker 3: will be available from seven twenty this morning. So if 83 00:04:59,695 --> 00:05:04,375 Speaker 3: you've got any specific text text those questions through any 84 00:05:04,415 --> 00:05:07,335 Speaker 3: painting questions, I've got a a couple little lined up 85 00:05:07,375 --> 00:05:09,695 Speaker 3: as well. I want to have a we look and 86 00:05:09,815 --> 00:05:13,415 Speaker 3: think about the whether to go water borne enamel or 87 00:05:13,615 --> 00:05:17,735 Speaker 3: oil born or solvent born enamels for exterior joinery again 88 00:05:17,895 --> 00:05:20,255 Speaker 3: in an area that they just get. You know, it's 89 00:05:20,295 --> 00:05:23,855 Speaker 3: north facing, right, it's timber, and it's north facing. It's 90 00:05:23,855 --> 00:05:26,095 Speaker 3: going to move, it's going to crack. Which paint is 91 00:05:26,135 --> 00:05:29,495 Speaker 3: the most suitable? So old Dash in there first, unless 92 00:05:29,495 --> 00:05:31,575 Speaker 3: you beat me to it by sending a couple of 93 00:05:31,615 --> 00:05:35,695 Speaker 3: texts about painting questions for Bryce, our painting expert from 94 00:05:35,815 --> 00:05:39,215 Speaker 3: Razine at around seven twenty this morning.

If you're back to work, I 107 00:06:13,175 --> 00:06:15,975 Speaker 3: hope that's going okay. If you're sort of on that 108 00:06:16,375 --> 00:06:19,135 Speaker 3: kind of part time. I'm sort of working, but I 109 00:06:19,215 --> 00:06:20,975 Speaker 3: don't mind if I knock off a bit early and 110 00:06:20,975 --> 00:06:23,535 Speaker 3: go to the beach. Good on you, and if you've 111 00:06:23,575 --> 00:06:26,015 Speaker 3: managed to stretch out the summer holidays for another week 112 00:06:26,335 --> 00:06:29,215 Speaker 3: or congratulations well planned. Oh eight one hundred eighty ten 113 00:06:29,295 --> 00:06:35,415 Speaker 3: eighty is that number to call? M ah apparently otago 114 00:06:35,495 --> 00:06:38,855 Speaker 3: this morning, but cloudy, cold and miserable has been since Thursday. 115 00:06:39,695 --> 00:06:42,455 Speaker 3: Um talking about installation. Come back to that one in 116 00:06:42,495 --> 00:06:45,135 Speaker 3: a minute. It's a good text. Actually, I want to 117 00:06:45,535 --> 00:06:48,135 Speaker 3: be ah. I want texts already coming in. I want 118 00:06:48,135 --> 00:06:50,655 Speaker 3: to build a large garden shed. It's going to need 119 00:06:50,655 --> 00:06:54,535 Speaker 3: about one point five cubic meters of concrete. Should I 120 00:06:54,575 --> 00:07:01,135 Speaker 3: do bags or get a truck in bags? To be fair, 121 00:07:01,175 --> 00:07:05,175 Speaker 3: bags are great as in premax bags of sand and cement, 122 00:07:06,335 --> 00:07:08,895 Speaker 3: but for one point five cubic meters you are going 123 00:07:08,895 --> 00:07:11,335 Speaker 3: to need like a palette and a half of bags. 124 00:07:11,375 --> 00:07:14,695 Speaker 3: It's interesting to do the numbers whether it would be 125 00:07:14,855 --> 00:07:18,295 Speaker 3: cheaper at one point five cube. I would go for 126 00:07:18,335 --> 00:07:21,935 Speaker 3: a truck to be fair, and there's a couple of benefits. 127 00:07:21,935 --> 00:07:24,455 Speaker 3: One is I think you'll probably find that it's better 128 00:07:24,575 --> 00:07:26,495 Speaker 3: mixed in a truck. Than it is. You're doing it 129 00:07:26,535 --> 00:07:29,775 Speaker 3: in a wheelbarrow by hand, with a whole bunch of bags. 130 00:07:30,615 --> 00:07:34,815 Speaker 3: Dollars wise, I would say possibly be even a little 131 00:07:34,815 --> 00:07:38,855 Speaker 3: bit cheaper. I think minimum load charges, so you get 132 00:07:38,855 --> 00:07:43,015 Speaker 3: a small load fee from ready mixed suppliers. So if 133 00:07:43,055 --> 00:07:45,775 Speaker 3: you're buying, like if you do point eight of a 134 00:07:45,855 --> 00:07:48,455 Speaker 3: cubic meter, there will be the point eight of a 135 00:07:48,495 --> 00:07:51,615 Speaker 3: cubic meter of concrete plus a small load chart. I 136 00:07:51,655 --> 00:07:53,815 Speaker 3: think at one point five meters you probably missed that, 137 00:07:55,415 --> 00:07:58,495 Speaker 3: And if you did want to do it yourself, then 138 00:07:58,575 --> 00:08:01,655 Speaker 3: I would actually go for builders mixed bags of cement 139 00:08:01,775 --> 00:08:04,215 Speaker 3: and hire a mixer. Go down to higher Paul, grab 140 00:08:04,295 --> 00:08:06,095 Speaker 3: yourself a mixer and do it that way. I've done 141 00:08:06,135 --> 00:08:09,095 Speaker 3: that couple of times. In fact, my first ever job, 142 00:08:09,735 --> 00:08:12,575 Speaker 3: my first day of my first job building for my 143 00:08:12,695 --> 00:08:17,135 Speaker 3: first boss, was on a Saturday morning of a public holiday, 144 00:08:17,335 --> 00:08:22,215 Speaker 3: and he wasn't aware that the ready mixed plant was 145 00:08:22,255 --> 00:08:24,455 Speaker 3: going to close on a Saturday of a public holiday 146 00:08:24,455 --> 00:08:27,775 Speaker 3: of long weekend, so he straight when he found out. 147 00:08:27,815 --> 00:08:31,175 Speaker 3: On Friday, he rang ordered six cubic meters of builders 148 00:08:31,215 --> 00:08:35,415 Speaker 3: mix BM twenty and thirty six bags of cement and 149 00:08:35,495 --> 00:08:38,295 Speaker 3: got his ratley old concrete mixer out and when I 150 00:08:38,375 --> 00:08:41,735 Speaker 3: arrived on Saturday morning, it was like, Hi, this is 151 00:08:41,735 --> 00:08:44,895 Speaker 3: what we're doing today. So six cubic meters through a 152 00:08:44,895 --> 00:08:47,535 Speaker 3: concrete mixer. I can tell you it takes a while. 153 00:08:47,735 --> 00:08:50,855 Speaker 3: It is fifteen minutes after six. A very good morning, 154 00:08:50,855 --> 00:08:53,015 Speaker 3: and welcome along to the show. Oh eight hundred and 155 00:08:53,015 --> 00:08:56,415 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty is the number to call. Other great 156 00:08:56,495 --> 00:08:59,175 Speaker 3: text about Limb.

Is it a halfway decent fence? 172 00:10:11,495 --> 00:10:18,215 Speaker 6: Does it look Okay, it's just it's just not not 173 00:10:18,415 --> 00:10:20,495 Speaker 6: what how we wanted it. 174 00:10:20,735 --> 00:10:25,615 Speaker 5: Yeah, sure, it's it's macrocarpa. And it's like and it 175 00:10:25,695 --> 00:10:30,455 Speaker 5: starts drying out like they've already done another section around 176 00:10:30,535 --> 00:10:34,455 Speaker 5: the back. When that timber starts drawing, obviously that the 177 00:10:34,655 --> 00:10:37,615 Speaker 5: gap in the ends, you know, you can slide your 178 00:10:37,775 --> 00:10:39,095 Speaker 5: slide your fingers. 179 00:10:38,695 --> 00:10:40,095 Speaker 3: Through it, gotcha, yep. 180 00:10:41,815 --> 00:10:44,655 Speaker 5: And then then we found out once they paid for 181 00:10:44,735 --> 00:10:48,495 Speaker 5: their fence, we can't do anything with it, like we 182 00:10:48,575 --> 00:10:52,215 Speaker 5: can't put a you know, like a decorative panel on 183 00:10:52,335 --> 00:10:55,255 Speaker 5: it or or one of those pulled out clothes lines 184 00:10:55,335 --> 00:10:59,695 Speaker 5: or anything because they paid for it. 185 00:11:00,015 --> 00:11:03,375 Speaker 3: I don't know about that. That's an interesting one. Okay. 186 00:11:03,415 --> 00:11:07,255 Speaker 3: So yeah, late last year, after a little while of trying, 187 00:11:07,255 --> 00:11:09,775 Speaker 3: I managed to get a lawyer on the program who's 188 00:11:09,815 --> 00:11:13,255 Speaker 3: a property law expert in Johnson came and join us, 189 00:11:13,295 --> 00:11:15,735 Speaker 3: which was awesome. He's going to come back because we 190 00:11:15,775 --> 00:11:17,575 Speaker 3: had a lot more to talk about. So, and what 191 00:11:17,655 --> 00:11:20,375 Speaker 3: we were specifically talking about is the Fencing Act. So 192 00:11:21,535 --> 00:11:24,575 Speaker 3: Fencing Act is quite clear if you are going to 193 00:11:24,615 --> 00:11:29,295 Speaker 3: seek a contribution from a neighbor. You can only get 194 00:11:29,335 --> 00:11:32,135 Speaker 3: that if you inform the neighbor beforehand, so you have 195 00:11:32,215 --> 00:11:34,495 Speaker 3: to send a letter, you have to quote the Fencing Act, 196 00:11:35,255 --> 00:11:38,175 Speaker 3: you have to provide some estimates of the cost, and 197 00:11:38,215 --> 00:11:43,015 Speaker 3: then from that you can request a contribution to half 198 00:11:43,295 --> 00:11:47,535 Speaker 3: the value of a standard fence. Arguably using macrocarpa, which 199 00:11:47,575 --> 00:11:51,375 Speaker 3: is probably cheaper than more expensive than good old highness radiator, 200 00:11:51,935 --> 00:11:54,375 Speaker 3: will mean that they've spent more on the fence. So 201 00:11:55,135 --> 00:11:57,455 Speaker 3: in terms of you know, if you get a knock 202 00:11:57,455 --> 00:11:59,415 Speaker 3: on the door and the guy's there going, hey, look yo, 203 00:11:59,455 --> 00:12:02,055 Speaker 3: us a couple of grand then you are quite within 204 00:12:02,095 --> 00:12:04,535 Speaker 3: your right side would say to say, I'm sorry you 205 00:12:04,535 --> 00:12:08,055 Speaker 3: didn't inform me. I'm not going to contribute. Then the 206 00:12:08,095 --> 00:12:11,815 Speaker 3: other question is exactly where if they put the fence. 207 00:12:11,975 --> 00:12:14,055 Speaker 3: So it's quite possible that what they've done is put 208 00:12:14,095 --> 00:12:18,215 Speaker 3: it solely on their side of the boundary, in which 209 00:12:18,255 --> 00:12:23,335 Speaker 3: case it very much is their property. I would say 210 00:12:23,775 --> 00:12:26,975 Speaker 3: if they've split you know, how often if you know, 211 00:12:27,095 --> 00:12:30,215 Speaker 3: we know that the boundary line is a dead straight 212 00:12:30,335 --> 00:12:33,215 Speaker 3: or typically a dead straight line, and in some cases 213 00:12:33,255 --> 00:12:35,655 Speaker 3: you buy agreement with the neighbor, you can share that 214 00:12:36,055 --> 00:12:38,655 Speaker 3: and put half the post half the fence on each side. 215 00:12:39,175 --> 00:12:42,935 Speaker 3: So you know, if that was the case and part 216 00:12:42,975 --> 00:12:46,055 Speaker 3: of the fence was on your side, again, it would 217 00:12:46,055 --> 00:12:47,255 Speaker 3: have been good if they had to talk to you 218 00:12:47,255 --> 00:12:49,775 Speaker 3: about that. But I would say, then you do own 219 00:12:49,815 --> 00:12:52,495 Speaker 3: that side of the fence. If, however, the fence is 220 00:12:52,535 --> 00:12:57,135 Speaker 3: solely on their property, you're right. You fixing some trellis 221 00:12:57,535 --> 00:13:01,775 Speaker 3: or a pop up washing line, you probably can't do 222 00:13:01,895 --> 00:13:04,295 Speaker 3: that without the permission of the neighbor. And they may 223 00:13:04,335 --> 00:13:04,695 Speaker 3: say no. 224 00:13:06,375 --> 00:13:10,935 Speaker 5: But if it's if it's fifty fifty like on the boundary, yep, 225 00:13:10,935 --> 00:13:14,695 Speaker 5: if they haven't done it on their boundary, on their 226 00:13:14,735 --> 00:13:17,415 Speaker 5: side of the boundary, it's a fifty fifty split. 227 00:13:18,175 --> 00:13:22,455 Speaker 3: Wow, Well then then it's on your property, right, it's yours. 228 00:13:22,215 --> 00:13:23,575 Speaker 6: Story, yeah, Roger. 229 00:13:24,775 --> 00:13:28,535 Speaker 5: So then you have that argument like, you know, shit, 230 00:13:28,615 --> 00:13:31,495 Speaker 5: we don't actually like that fence. We would have preferred 231 00:13:32,295 --> 00:13:33,215 Speaker 5: a fence. 232 00:13:33,575 --> 00:13:34,975 Speaker 3: So, yes, that's right. 233 00:13:34,895 --> 00:13:39,695 Speaker 5: In that regard, it just turns into a shootout and like, legally, 234 00:13:40,535 --> 00:13:42,975 Speaker 5: can I make them remove that fence? 235 00:13:43,095 --> 00:13:45,215 Speaker 6: Fet and your view again? 236 00:13:45,255 --> 00:13:47,735 Speaker 3: And I you know, obviously if you wanted to go 237 00:13:47,735 --> 00:13:49,895 Speaker 3: and confront them, you'd want to go and seek legal advice. 238 00:13:49,935 --> 00:13:52,215 Speaker 3: But I would have thought that if they have gone 239 00:13:52,255 --> 00:13:54,615 Speaker 3: ahead and built a fence and it is partly on 240 00:13:54,655 --> 00:13:58,135 Speaker 3: your property, you could ask them to remove that part 241 00:13:58,215 --> 00:14:02,775 Speaker 3: because you haven't given your consent to that. Yeah, you know, 242 00:14:02,855 --> 00:14:07,215 Speaker 3: and I've seen plenty of situations where you know, neighbors, 243 00:14:08,135 --> 00:14:10,935 Speaker 3: for whatever reason right have decided not to consult with 244 00:14:10,975 --> 00:14:15,255 Speaker 3: the impacted party and have just gone ahead built a 245 00:14:15,295 --> 00:14:17,375 Speaker 3: new fence and they've done it, you know, fifty millimeters 246 00:14:17,415 --> 00:14:20,295 Speaker 3: one hundred milimeters inside the property. I saw a weird 247 00:14:20,335 --> 00:14:22,535 Speaker 3: one little while ago where they'd built like a meter 248 00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:24,255 Speaker 3: inside because there was a whole lot of trees they 249 00:14:24,255 --> 00:14:27,055 Speaker 3: couldn't be bothered taking, and they've just accepted, I'll lose 250 00:14:27,095 --> 00:14:28,575 Speaker 3: a bit of land and I'll just put my fence 251 00:14:28,615 --> 00:14:31,695 Speaker 3: where I want it to be, right, so I think 252 00:14:31,695 --> 00:14:35,215 Speaker 3: of it. But if it's clearly and if the boundaries 253 00:14:35,255 --> 00:14:39,335 Speaker 3: are clearly defined, then if it's on your side, then 254 00:14:39,615 --> 00:14:48,095 Speaker 3: basically you own that. But but you know, hopefully these 255 00:14:48,135 --> 00:14:50,895 Speaker 3: sorts of things can be discussed and you come to 256 00:14:50,935 --> 00:14:56,055 Speaker 3: a reasonable adult sort of decision or reconciliation around it. 257 00:14:56,095 --> 00:14:59,175 Speaker 3: But I think we've all been around long enough to 258 00:14:59,215 --> 00:15:03,055 Speaker 3: know that not everyone acts rationally in these situations and 259 00:15:03,135 --> 00:15:09,255 Speaker 3: people fall out over the silliest of things. Yeah, exactly, 260 00:15:09,375 --> 00:15:10,015 Speaker 3: you know what I mean. 261 00:15:10,455 --> 00:15:15,655 Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, yeah, thanks for that. 262 00:15:15,975 --> 00:15:20,375 Speaker 3: Enjoy, look after yourself, take care of Chad. See bye. 263 00:15:20,615 --> 00:15:22,615 Speaker 3: Eight hundred eighty ten eighty. If you've got a question, 264 00:15:23,535 --> 00:15:25,415 Speaker 3: just before we go to our next caller, which is Paul, 265 00:15:25,455 --> 00:15:27,455 Speaker 3: we've got some spare lines, so good time to call 266 00:15:27,575 --> 00:15:30,695 Speaker 3: now eight hundred eighty ten eighty quick text that's come 267 00:15:30,735 --> 00:15:34,015 Speaker 3: through A good morning peak. Do you always need to 268 00:15:34,015 --> 00:15:36,375 Speaker 3: get a limb report when buying a house? What is 269 00:15:36,495 --> 00:15:42,135 Speaker 3: actually in a limb report? So from Gordon Gordon, I 270 00:15:42,175 --> 00:15:45,295 Speaker 3: would say that it would be the very least piece 271 00:15:45,335 --> 00:15:48,455 Speaker 3: of due diligence that either you or your lawyer who's 272 00:15:48,495 --> 00:15:51,775 Speaker 3: acting for the on the conveyancing side of things, would do. 273 00:15:53,095 --> 00:15:56,815 Speaker 3: And so there's a limb is of land information memorandum. 274 00:15:57,255 --> 00:15:59,215 Speaker 3: Typically it tells you a whole lot of things about 275 00:15:59,295 --> 00:16:02,055 Speaker 3: the area on which you're buying. You know, are there 276 00:16:02,295 --> 00:16:06,375 Speaker 3: particular natural hazards? Are you, for example, in a flood zone? 277 00:16:06,815 --> 00:16:10,215 Speaker 3: What are the planning overlays? Are you in a heritage zone? 278 00:16:10,255 --> 00:16:14,535 Speaker 3: Are you in a zone where development and planning restricts? 279 00:16:14,535 --> 00:16:17,375 Speaker 3: The number of dwellings that could be put on the property. 280 00:16:18,295 --> 00:16:22,375 Speaker 3: It might give you some indication as to where public 281 00:16:22,455 --> 00:16:27,935 Speaker 3: services like storm water and waste water are. So yeah, 282 00:16:28,055 --> 00:16:30,895 Speaker 3: I think it's not difficult to do. I think it's 283 00:16:31,095 --> 00:16:35,255 Speaker 3: absolutely worth getting a LIMB report. There is also a 284 00:16:35,415 --> 00:16:38,295 Speaker 3: pym SO Property Information Report that might give you a 285 00:16:38,295 --> 00:16:42,015 Speaker 3: bit more detail on a specific property. And if you're 286 00:16:42,055 --> 00:16:44,535 Speaker 3: really really wanting to sort of dig into it, you 287 00:16:44,615 --> 00:16:48,655 Speaker 3: can ring council and request the property file, which is 288 00:16:48,855 --> 00:16:54,855 Speaker 3: everything that any correspondence, any documentation that council have on 289 00:16:55,375 --> 00:16:59,015 Speaker 3: that particular property. And I think, again, given the investment 290 00:16:59,375 --> 00:17:02,135 Speaker 3: that we're talking about, I think that's worth doing as well. 291 00:17:02,615 --> 00:17:08,095 Speaker 3: The other thing. Can I quickly add that I have 292 00:17:08,215 --> 00:17:11,855 Speaker 3: spent quite a bit of time this well, sometime this 293 00:17:11,935 --> 00:17:16,095 Speaker 3: week and over the last year and more, quite a 294 00:17:16,095 --> 00:17:20,935 Speaker 3: bit of time trying to sort out a building consent 295 00:17:21,095 --> 00:17:24,735 Speaker 3: that didn't get CCC right. So a building consent was 296 00:17:24,775 --> 00:17:29,415 Speaker 3: issued for a project for whatever reason, the previous owner 297 00:17:29,455 --> 00:17:33,335 Speaker 3: of the property didn't close out that consent by having 298 00:17:33,375 --> 00:17:37,095 Speaker 3: a final inspection and then applying forum being granted a 299 00:17:37,415 --> 00:17:42,095 Speaker 3: code compliance certificate. It then got on sold to someone 300 00:17:42,935 --> 00:17:47,215 Speaker 3: who I'm acting for, who discovered later on that this 301 00:17:47,815 --> 00:17:51,375 Speaker 3: building hadn't been issued at CCC and wanted to get 302 00:17:51,375 --> 00:17:55,335 Speaker 3: that tidied up. So you know, if that's on the limb, 303 00:17:55,695 --> 00:17:59,335 Speaker 3: then that's a really good thing to know because having 304 00:17:59,375 --> 00:18:02,775 Speaker 3: worked on it quite considerably for quite some time, it 305 00:18:02,815 --> 00:18:06,055 Speaker 3: can be a lot of work to get that sorted out, 306 00:18:06,095 --> 00:18:09,535 Speaker 3: and in some cases it's actually not possible to get 307 00:18:09,575 --> 00:18:13,015 Speaker 3: sorted out. Council will not issue a CCC in some cases. 308 00:18:13,295 --> 00:18:15,735 Speaker 3: Then you have to go through a process of a 309 00:18:15,775 --> 00:18:20,895 Speaker 3: certificate of acceptance that is also a truckload of work 310 00:18:21,015 --> 00:18:24,255 Speaker 3: in most cases. So yeah, if you're looking at a property, 311 00:18:24,375 --> 00:18:27,855 Speaker 3: get the limb and if that then happens to also 312 00:18:27,975 --> 00:18:30,455 Speaker 3: say hey, here's a building consent there was issued that 313 00:18:30,575 --> 00:18:33,815 Speaker 3: required a CCC. So building permits back in the day 314 00:18:34,415 --> 00:18:39,135 Speaker 3: pre nineteen ninety two thereabouts didn't require a CCC, but 315 00:18:39,215 --> 00:18:43,255 Speaker 3: anything since then under the New Building Act does require 316 00:18:43,255 --> 00:18:46,735 Speaker 3: a SECC to close out a building consent, you want 317 00:18:46,775 --> 00:18:49,295 Speaker 3: one of those, I can assure you, having spent a 318 00:18:49,335 --> 00:18:53,055 Speaker 3: lot of time and effort to try and sort that out, 319 00:18:53,255 --> 00:18:55,255 Speaker 3: and that's a work in progress for me. So that's 320 00:18:55,255 --> 00:18:58,215 Speaker 3: what occupies part of my day. It is six twenty 321 00:18:58,215 --> 00:19:00,375 Speaker 3: five will take short breaking back with Paul if you'd 322 00:19:00,415 --> 00:19:01,855 Speaker 3: like to join us.

I recently replaced a handbasin in our own 330 00:19:24,815 --> 00:19:29,095 Speaker 7: suite and replace the two taps so they mix her yep. 331 00:19:29,295 --> 00:19:33,335 Speaker 7: And now if you shut the cold water off too quickly, 332 00:19:33,655 --> 00:19:36,655 Speaker 7: you get the knock in one of the pipes. Yes, 333 00:19:36,695 --> 00:19:39,375 Speaker 7: I've been up in the roof and my wife's downstairs 334 00:19:39,375 --> 00:19:42,535 Speaker 7: turning on and off taps all over the place. And 335 00:19:42,615 --> 00:19:46,255 Speaker 7: the washing machine with the quick solin word valves does it. 336 00:19:47,815 --> 00:19:50,415 Speaker 7: I tried an arrestor on the cold tap in the 337 00:19:50,735 --> 00:19:52,295 Speaker 7: new handbasin. 338 00:19:52,215 --> 00:19:57,415 Speaker 3: Right, what's the what does the arrestor do or what 339 00:19:57,415 --> 00:19:58,375 Speaker 3: do you think it's going to do? 340 00:19:59,735 --> 00:20:04,415 Speaker 7: Well that you put that on the back of the 341 00:20:04,575 --> 00:20:06,815 Speaker 7: say cold water, then let until they hand based on 342 00:20:06,815 --> 00:20:10,255 Speaker 7: the washing machine and it's like a shock absorber when 343 00:20:10,295 --> 00:20:14,895 Speaker 7: you when you shut the cold off quickly or the 344 00:20:15,015 --> 00:20:22,175 Speaker 7: washing machine, it absorbs the back pressure. Gotcha, and that 345 00:20:22,575 --> 00:20:25,895 Speaker 7: hasn't worked. This might be a simple question, but is 346 00:20:25,935 --> 00:20:29,175 Speaker 7: there a correct procedure to train the water out of 347 00:20:29,215 --> 00:20:31,735 Speaker 7: all the pipes in your house? You're trying to eliminate 348 00:20:31,815 --> 00:20:40,335 Speaker 7: air by turning the mains off, training the water from 349 00:20:40,415 --> 00:20:43,615 Speaker 7: the highest tap in the house, Yes, which which is 350 00:20:43,655 --> 00:20:46,535 Speaker 7: only the washing machine outlet because they're bar up on 351 00:20:46,575 --> 00:20:49,295 Speaker 7: the wall, and I stick out to the lowest line, 352 00:20:49,295 --> 00:20:53,615 Speaker 7: which is the garden hose. Then turn the round all 353 00:20:53,615 --> 00:20:56,295 Speaker 7: the water out of the house, turn the mains back on, 354 00:20:57,295 --> 00:21:00,055 Speaker 7: ran all the taps and you can hear the air 355 00:21:00,295 --> 00:21:02,615 Speaker 7: spurting out of them. Yes, you know, for the life 356 00:21:02,615 --> 00:21:04,455 Speaker 7: of me, I can't get rid of this water hammer. 357 00:21:04,615 --> 00:21:07,575 Speaker 7: It's just a single knock. We neither the washing machine 358 00:21:08,055 --> 00:21:10,495 Speaker 7: or that the mixer on the two handbasin get to 359 00:21:10,495 --> 00:21:11,295 Speaker 7: shut off quickly. 360 00:21:11,855 --> 00:21:15,695 Speaker 3: Right, Okay, So there might be two things happening. One 361 00:21:15,815 --> 00:21:19,095 Speaker 3: is you've obviously gone through all of the sort of 362 00:21:19,695 --> 00:21:22,295 Speaker 3: response to water hammer in terms of the amount of 363 00:21:22,335 --> 00:21:25,255 Speaker 3: flow and so on. The other thing that can happen 364 00:21:25,495 --> 00:21:28,455 Speaker 3: is that if you look at sort of modern practice. 365 00:21:28,535 --> 00:21:32,415 Speaker 3: Let's say plumbers when they drill through my precious knogs 366 00:21:32,415 --> 00:21:37,175 Speaker 3: and studs to put in their pipework. They will typically 367 00:21:37,215 --> 00:21:39,055 Speaker 3: then once they've done all the pipe work and got 368 00:21:39,055 --> 00:21:42,215 Speaker 3: everything sort doubt before the lining happens, go round with 369 00:21:42,335 --> 00:21:45,375 Speaker 3: a corking gun and a bee and some silicon and 370 00:21:45,535 --> 00:21:49,415 Speaker 3: seal around each of those penetrations, right, and that stops 371 00:21:49,495 --> 00:21:53,695 Speaker 3: the actual physical pipe from moving and hitting the timber. 372 00:21:54,295 --> 00:21:58,335 Speaker 3: Now that's a relative relatively new, probably in the last 373 00:21:58,335 --> 00:22:00,615 Speaker 3: ten or fifteen years. But let's say, for example, you 374 00:22:00,695 --> 00:22:03,935 Speaker 3: might have an old copper pipe that's running down the 375 00:22:03,975 --> 00:22:09,895 Speaker 3: wall that probably won't have any ceilant around it. So 376 00:22:10,095 --> 00:22:13,175 Speaker 3: copper pipes tended just to run straight through the knogs. 377 00:22:14,135 --> 00:22:16,535 Speaker 3: They might in some cases I've seen they've got like 378 00:22:16,535 --> 00:22:19,575 Speaker 3: a little copper clip that they'd fasten around them, but 379 00:22:19,695 --> 00:22:22,175 Speaker 3: often cases not. So you've got maybe a twenty mili 380 00:22:22,175 --> 00:22:25,095 Speaker 3: hole and a fifteen mil copper pipe. And if over 381 00:22:25,175 --> 00:22:27,735 Speaker 3: time that's become a little bit loose, and as the pressure, 382 00:22:28,735 --> 00:22:31,535 Speaker 3: regardless whether there's air in the line or not, comes 383 00:22:31,575 --> 00:22:33,975 Speaker 3: on and off, it's enough just to move that pipe 384 00:22:34,015 --> 00:22:36,815 Speaker 3: in the same way that you know yesterdayl's in the garden, 385 00:22:37,295 --> 00:22:39,215 Speaker 3: rolled out the hose, turn the hose on. You can 386 00:22:39,215 --> 00:22:41,095 Speaker 3: see the hose move right move. 387 00:22:41,255 --> 00:22:41,815 Speaker 8: Yeah. 388 00:22:41,895 --> 00:22:46,935 Speaker 3: So if you can identify the exact location of where 389 00:22:46,975 --> 00:22:49,615 Speaker 3: the knock is coming from, and if it's consistently in 390 00:22:49,655 --> 00:22:52,175 Speaker 3: the same place, it might be an issue of the 391 00:22:52,215 --> 00:22:55,135 Speaker 3: pipe knocking against the hole of the timber in the 392 00:22:55,135 --> 00:22:56,055 Speaker 3: hole that it goes. 393 00:22:55,895 --> 00:22:59,775 Speaker 7: Through itself located that it's in the back of the 394 00:23:01,135 --> 00:23:05,855 Speaker 7: on suite, yeah, cabinet, and then. 395 00:23:05,375 --> 00:23:08,615 Speaker 3: The realistically the only option is cutting out a bit 396 00:23:08,655 --> 00:23:11,055 Speaker 3: of the plaster board, having a look and see if 397 00:23:11,095 --> 00:23:13,535 Speaker 3: that's where it is, and then you know, using the 398 00:23:13,575 --> 00:23:20,895 Speaker 3: appropriate ceilant to just effectively provide a shock absorber around it. 399 00:23:21,255 --> 00:23:24,095 Speaker 7: Prapped and yep, the pipes up there in the ceiling. 400 00:23:25,575 --> 00:23:27,975 Speaker 7: And it was a night there trying to find there's 401 00:23:28,135 --> 00:23:30,615 Speaker 7: just so much criss cross of pipes. 402 00:23:33,175 --> 00:23:35,255 Speaker 3: Well, I think what it is is often, you know, 403 00:23:35,295 --> 00:23:38,255 Speaker 3: at the beginning of a house's life, all of the 404 00:23:38,295 --> 00:23:41,895 Speaker 3: pipework might get laid out neatly with some order maine, 405 00:23:41,895 --> 00:23:44,255 Speaker 3: I've got some feeds coming off and that sort of thing, 406 00:23:44,575 --> 00:23:47,055 Speaker 3: and then things change and people cut into a pipe 407 00:23:47,095 --> 00:23:49,455 Speaker 3: and run another line and that sort of thing, and 408 00:23:49,495 --> 00:23:53,735 Speaker 3: that that can actually, you know, to the uninitiated, and 409 00:23:53,775 --> 00:23:57,495 Speaker 3: I include myself and here, plumbers you know, have have 410 00:23:57,575 --> 00:23:59,815 Speaker 3: a clear idea of what's going to work in terms 411 00:23:59,855 --> 00:24:02,855 Speaker 3: of the most efficient way to distribute water throughout the house, 412 00:24:03,255 --> 00:24:05,535 Speaker 3: and then later on other people interfere with that and 413 00:24:05,535 --> 00:24:07,815 Speaker 3: that has untend into consequences as well. 414 00:24:09,335 --> 00:24:11,495 Speaker 7: Yeah see, I don't think anyone's into feed up there, 415 00:24:11,535 --> 00:24:14,695 Speaker 7: but yeah, with a lady piping, I think you might 416 00:24:14,735 --> 00:24:18,375 Speaker 7: have had a couple of beers before him. Oh yeah, 417 00:24:19,015 --> 00:24:21,415 Speaker 7: and my wife is going crazy turn that on, beer, 418 00:24:21,495 --> 00:24:22,535 Speaker 7: turn that off, and. 419 00:24:22,495 --> 00:24:26,255 Speaker 3: It's incredibly frustrating. The other option is to maybe put 420 00:24:26,295 --> 00:24:29,855 Speaker 3: in a pressure reducing valve at the end of the 421 00:24:29,895 --> 00:24:34,095 Speaker 3: water main coming into the house. That's almost got to 422 00:24:34,095 --> 00:24:34,335 Speaker 3: do that. 423 00:24:34,495 --> 00:24:39,655 Speaker 7: Yeah, okay, good, So it's either air in there or 424 00:24:39,855 --> 00:24:41,895 Speaker 7: it's because it only happened since I put this mixer 425 00:24:41,895 --> 00:24:45,735 Speaker 7: in there. Right of course, it won't do it on 426 00:24:45,775 --> 00:24:48,215 Speaker 7: any single taps because you're slowly turning them off. 427 00:24:48,415 --> 00:24:50,975 Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, yeah, it's just with a ceramic disk inside 428 00:24:50,975 --> 00:24:53,495 Speaker 3: the mixer. It's on or it's off, and that happens 429 00:24:53,535 --> 00:24:58,695 Speaker 3: quite quickly. Try try see if you can identify if 430 00:24:58,775 --> 00:25:01,495 Speaker 3: it sounds like it's coming from a location in the wall, 431 00:25:01,855 --> 00:25:04,415 Speaker 3: then maybe you just have to cut that open and 432 00:25:04,535 --> 00:25:06,895 Speaker 3: seal around there and you might find it's the pipe knocking. 433 00:25:08,375 --> 00:25:10,215 Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, good luck. 434 00:25:11,815 --> 00:25:14,255 Speaker 3: All right, Yeah, good luck is about as good as 435 00:25:14,255 --> 00:25:16,855 Speaker 3: I can do today. All right, take care bother then 436 00:25:17,095 --> 00:25:19,575 Speaker 3: you and New Storks b quick text that's come through. 437 00:25:19,855 --> 00:25:22,015 Speaker 3: Pete has a comment that I read any comment from 438 00:25:22,095 --> 00:25:25,455 Speaker 3: you from David and the quote the comment is multi 439 00:25:25,535 --> 00:25:29,575 Speaker 3: unit residential still high, but that is Spec H one 440 00:25:29,695 --> 00:25:33,255 Speaker 3: environmental development levies pushing cost up. There is still value 441 00:25:33,295 --> 00:25:35,095 Speaker 3: to be found, but you need the right team cite 442 00:25:35,135 --> 00:25:38,335 Speaker 3: and design. Too many consultants on exorbitant rates, trying to 443 00:25:38,375 --> 00:25:42,215 Speaker 3: make design, two complex council planners on power trips asking 444 00:25:42,255 --> 00:25:48,135 Speaker 3: for subjective RFI s. Yeah, probably wouldn't completely disagree with 445 00:25:48,175 --> 00:25:52,655 Speaker 3: you on that. I think that. I mean, look, everybody 446 00:25:52,695 --> 00:25:57,615 Speaker 3: deserves a living right without a doubt. But you know, 447 00:25:58,575 --> 00:26:03,535 Speaker 3: in terms of developments, you know, there was an article 448 00:26:03,735 --> 00:26:08,055 Speaker 3: I think probably last quarter of last year of a 449 00:26:08,095 --> 00:26:11,655 Speaker 3: gentleman out in the way Tackles in Auckland who wanted 450 00:26:11,695 --> 00:26:15,335 Speaker 3: to i think, add another unit to a section that 451 00:26:15,375 --> 00:26:18,415 Speaker 3: he already owned, a property that he already owned, and 452 00:26:18,455 --> 00:26:20,375 Speaker 3: One of the things he was expected to do was 453 00:26:20,455 --> 00:26:23,455 Speaker 3: get an ecologist to come in and do a survey 454 00:26:23,535 --> 00:26:29,255 Speaker 3: of the skink population and then to provide monitoring I 455 00:26:29,295 --> 00:26:33,295 Speaker 3: think of said skinks, and also I think to provide 456 00:26:33,335 --> 00:26:35,495 Speaker 3: I know, for another case, we're a developer was asked 457 00:26:35,495 --> 00:26:37,975 Speaker 3: to provide a methodology of what to do when they 458 00:26:38,095 --> 00:26:41,855 Speaker 3: encounter a skink in the event that, you know, they 459 00:26:41,935 --> 00:26:44,135 Speaker 3: see one when the diggers working or something like that. 460 00:26:44,575 --> 00:26:47,375 Speaker 3: I'm all for protecting the environment, I really really am, 461 00:26:48,135 --> 00:26:51,615 Speaker 3: but I think there has been some large es with 462 00:26:51,735 --> 00:26:55,775 Speaker 3: this sort of thing that should come to an end. So, yeah, 463 00:26:55,855 --> 00:27:00,815 Speaker 3: I get it, h one, We've been through this. Yeah, 464 00:27:00,895 --> 00:27:03,815 Speaker 3: it may add cost, and if it does, I think 465 00:27:03,855 --> 00:27:05,975 Speaker 3: that's a cost that we should bear. To be blunt 466 00:27:07,015 --> 00:27:10,575 Speaker 3: and in some cases, the hysteria around you know, the 467 00:27:10,655 --> 00:27:13,455 Speaker 3: quotes that were out there saying, oh, it's added fifty 468 00:27:13,535 --> 00:27:15,695 Speaker 3: thousand dollars to the cost of a New Zealand house 469 00:27:16,335 --> 00:27:20,295 Speaker 3: has been proven to be untrue in some cases. So 470 00:27:20,535 --> 00:27:24,655 Speaker 3: Malcolm Fleming, who's the chief executive of New Zealand Certified Builders, 471 00:27:24,975 --> 00:27:27,935 Speaker 3: he was a guest last year on the show when 472 00:27:28,015 --> 00:27:30,255 Speaker 3: this discussion was taking place. They went out and they 473 00:27:30,295 --> 00:27:33,535 Speaker 3: grabbed a fairly standard ninety square meter building and I 474 00:27:33,535 --> 00:27:36,055 Speaker 3: think one hundred and forty square meter building. They did 475 00:27:36,095 --> 00:27:39,255 Speaker 3: a quantity surveying of it, going okay, if we apply 476 00:27:39,375 --> 00:27:41,415 Speaker 3: the new H one standards, but we don't use the 477 00:27:41,415 --> 00:27:44,735 Speaker 3: schedule method. We do the calculation method, what's our additional cost? 478 00:27:45,215 --> 00:27:47,575 Speaker 3: And one case they were saving money, in another case 479 00:27:47,655 --> 00:27:53,015 Speaker 3: they were basically spending you know, might be two thousand 480 00:27:53,055 --> 00:27:56,135 Speaker 3: dollars added to the cost of the building to comply 481 00:27:56,215 --> 00:27:58,815 Speaker 3: with the H one. So I don't go round blaming 482 00:27:58,935 --> 00:28:01,375 Speaker 3: H one. Oh eight, one hundred eighty ten eighty is 483 00:28:01,615 --> 00:28:06,295 Speaker 3: the number to call and tippery good morning to you. 484 00:28:06,455 --> 00:28:11,415 Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I'm just bringing up uh yeah. I had 485 00:28:11,415 --> 00:28:12,895 Speaker 9: a bit of a party used today. 486 00:28:13,495 --> 00:28:13,735 Speaker 10: Uh. 487 00:28:15,295 --> 00:28:19,575 Speaker 9: I worked with the guys, got really drunk. He ended 488 00:28:19,655 --> 00:28:22,055 Speaker 9: up hating his hit. Put it in the hole through 489 00:28:22,095 --> 00:28:27,775 Speaker 9: the war because he'd been through the war I made. 490 00:28:27,815 --> 00:28:30,495 Speaker 9: He was okay the next morning, but the war. 491 00:28:30,415 --> 00:28:32,535 Speaker 3: Wasn't second based. 492 00:28:33,695 --> 00:28:38,175 Speaker 9: Yeah, I would beat it with just basic tools. The 493 00:28:38,335 --> 00:28:40,935 Speaker 9: whole what I did was I got a piece of paper, 494 00:28:41,535 --> 00:28:49,135 Speaker 9: the normal paper, apaper, yeah, newspaper I made. I squeared 495 00:28:49,135 --> 00:28:52,735 Speaker 9: it off, Yeah, I taped it. Take that and then 496 00:28:53,055 --> 00:28:56,295 Speaker 9: what happened was I would say lucky to have paint 497 00:28:56,415 --> 00:29:00,135 Speaker 9: white paint and uh. But but what I did was 498 00:29:00,135 --> 00:29:02,855 Speaker 9: I putsy decides.

Pete had a This is referring back 525 00:30:31,695 --> 00:30:36,615 Speaker 3: to Paul's issue with water hammer. Hey, Pete had this 526 00:30:36,655 --> 00:30:39,095 Speaker 3: problem on a two story house. Was a simple worn 527 00:30:39,255 --> 00:30:43,055 Speaker 3: tap washer that was allowing air to be drawn back 528 00:30:43,095 --> 00:30:46,495 Speaker 3: into the pipe on the second floor, creating the air ram. 529 00:30:46,615 --> 00:30:49,775 Speaker 3: So it's if the problem what you're saying, I think 530 00:30:49,855 --> 00:30:51,855 Speaker 3: is that if the problems downstairs, it might be an 531 00:30:51,975 --> 00:30:56,455 Speaker 3: upstairs tap that is contributing to the issue. Someone else 532 00:30:57,215 --> 00:31:00,815 Speaker 3: helpfully has suggested, we had that knocking in my father's house, 533 00:31:00,855 --> 00:31:04,935 Speaker 3: turned the mains off, sorted it completely. Yes, very good, 534 00:31:05,055 --> 00:31:08,975 Speaker 3: very droll A water hammer arresta as close as you 535 00:31:09,015 --> 00:31:11,455 Speaker 3: can to the noise. I think that is what Paul 536 00:31:11,495 --> 00:31:14,975 Speaker 3: has already done by adding one close to the tap 537 00:31:15,015 --> 00:31:17,775 Speaker 3: that he's put in. Good morning, Can you build a 538 00:31:17,775 --> 00:31:22,095 Speaker 3: shed that is both L one and L two? I'd 539 00:31:22,095 --> 00:31:24,735 Speaker 3: like to build a three door American style barn with 540 00:31:24,775 --> 00:31:27,575 Speaker 3: living quarters on the side. I'm not sure what the 541 00:31:27,615 --> 00:31:31,895 Speaker 3: reference to L one, Ally one or ALLY two is. 542 00:31:31,935 --> 00:31:34,055 Speaker 3: If you can see me a bit more information, Chris, 543 00:31:34,095 --> 00:31:36,615 Speaker 3: that would be helpful. That's great. Tell him to change 544 00:31:36,655 --> 00:31:39,055 Speaker 3: the mixer to a high quality unit that will always 545 00:31:39,095 --> 00:31:42,535 Speaker 3: fix the water hammer. Maybe it is a high quality unit, 546 00:31:43,495 --> 00:31:46,375 Speaker 3: Mariana Pete. Can a neighbor cover my toby, which he 547 00:31:46,495 --> 00:31:49,215 Speaker 3: says is on his land? No, I wouldn't have thought 548 00:31:49,255 --> 00:31:56,095 Speaker 3: so in a sent Well, see, the toby is actually 549 00:31:56,135 --> 00:32:00,335 Speaker 3: owned by either the council or in Auckland's case, water Care, 550 00:32:01,695 --> 00:32:04,015 Speaker 3: So no, I don't think that you can go ahead 551 00:32:04,055 --> 00:32:07,735 Speaker 3: and cover that. And if it was on the land, 552 00:32:07,855 --> 00:32:11,855 Speaker 3: it's still an asset that's not owned by the property owner. 553 00:32:12,255 --> 00:32:14,735 Speaker 3: So if you've ever had a leak, for example, if 554 00:32:14,775 --> 00:32:18,575 Speaker 3: it's on your side of the toby, it's your responsibility. 555 00:32:18,735 --> 00:32:21,415 Speaker 3: If it's on at the toby or on the pipe 556 00:32:21,455 --> 00:32:24,135 Speaker 3: that comes in from the mains to the toby, we're 557 00:32:24,135 --> 00:32:26,295 Speaker 3: talking about the water meter right out on the roadway, 558 00:32:27,535 --> 00:32:32,095 Speaker 3: then that becomes the issue for the council basically to 559 00:32:32,175 --> 00:32:34,295 Speaker 3: deal with. And someone thinks that I'm on the right 560 00:32:34,335 --> 00:32:38,375 Speaker 3: track with the skinks. Can I please be absolutely clear 561 00:32:38,415 --> 00:32:43,055 Speaker 3: about this. I am all for environmental protection right if 562 00:32:43,095 --> 00:32:47,255 Speaker 3: there are threatened species, if there is a particular sensitivity 563 00:32:47,775 --> 00:32:51,135 Speaker 3: around an area, then I think we need to do 564 00:32:51,215 --> 00:32:54,815 Speaker 3: everything we can to protect that. I just get the 565 00:32:54,815 --> 00:32:57,815 Speaker 3: feeling that that has extended a little bit beyond what 566 00:32:58,015 --> 00:33:00,575 Speaker 3: is reasonable. Oh wait, one hundred eighty ten eighty the 567 00:33:00,655 --> 00:33:02,575 Speaker 3: number to call ray good morning to you. 568 00:33:03,215 --> 00:33:08,455 Speaker 11: Good morning a awesome show. Think of it regarding building 569 00:33:08,575 --> 00:33:12,375 Speaker 11: consent outstanding, So I'll go to the end of it. 570 00:33:12,535 --> 00:33:16,975 Speaker 11: This could be quite useful for listeners. I've just finished 571 00:33:16,975 --> 00:33:23,015 Speaker 11: a small planes process at the local court. We went 572 00:33:23,095 --> 00:33:27,855 Speaker 11: to sell our property building consent with outstanding. Won't go 573 00:33:27,935 --> 00:33:30,055 Speaker 11: to the detail, but our lawyer didn't pick it up. 574 00:33:30,695 --> 00:33:32,895 Speaker 8: The agents that were selling properly picked it up. 575 00:33:33,735 --> 00:33:36,655 Speaker 11: Had to spend a lot of money on getting that 576 00:33:36,735 --> 00:33:39,295 Speaker 11: building consent. Like you say, it takes a lot of step. 577 00:33:39,415 --> 00:33:44,135 Speaker 11: It was tens of thousands of dollars. Won't go into 578 00:33:44,135 --> 00:33:48,095 Speaker 11: the nitty gritty of it, but the file was good 579 00:33:48,175 --> 00:33:54,055 Speaker 11: enough to show that the people previously to us had 580 00:33:55,215 --> 00:34:00,335 Speaker 11: corresponds with council. Council said, hey, building consent has not 581 00:34:00,575 --> 00:34:04,055 Speaker 11: been completed. They did go a little ways to getting 582 00:34:04,335 --> 00:34:07,655 Speaker 11: that building conceived, that fleasy, but they hadn't completed it, 583 00:34:07,735 --> 00:34:11,175 Speaker 11: got letters on file showing they've been contacted, they didn't 584 00:34:11,175 --> 00:34:15,255 Speaker 11: doing about it, and I won and I was warded 585 00:34:16,735 --> 00:34:21,055 Speaker 11: basically the cost of the work I had to do 586 00:34:21,135 --> 00:34:22,895 Speaker 11: to get it up to standard. And it was a 587 00:34:23,015 --> 00:34:28,975 Speaker 11: let prospective building consent and got tens of thousands of 588 00:34:29,015 --> 00:34:29,575 Speaker 11: dollars out of. 589 00:34:29,535 --> 00:34:36,055 Speaker 3: It, which is fascinating, but that's not I just want 590 00:34:36,055 --> 00:34:38,815 Speaker 3: to be really clear on this. The fact that you 591 00:34:38,855 --> 00:34:44,175 Speaker 3: were able to sue someone effectively for damages and is 592 00:34:44,775 --> 00:34:46,655 Speaker 3: that it was a mistake on the part of in 593 00:34:46,655 --> 00:34:49,615 Speaker 3: this case, your lawyer at the conveyancing that they didn't 594 00:34:49,615 --> 00:34:51,935 Speaker 3: pick it up and it's fair and reasonable to expect 595 00:34:51,975 --> 00:34:55,095 Speaker 3: that they would have found what's quite straightforward information, right. 596 00:34:55,135 --> 00:34:58,015 Speaker 3: And so this discussion starts with should I get a 597 00:34:58,055 --> 00:35:00,015 Speaker 3: LIMB report. I was reading through a LIMB report a 598 00:35:00,055 --> 00:35:02,455 Speaker 3: little while ago, and typically it gives you a bit 599 00:35:02,495 --> 00:35:06,055 Speaker 3: of a property information and then it goes building consents. Right, 600 00:35:06,295 --> 00:35:08,335 Speaker 3: we'll talk about building permits if it's got one from 601 00:35:08,455 --> 00:35:11,335 Speaker 3: nineteen fifty six for an outhouse or nineteen thirty six 602 00:35:11,375 --> 00:35:14,135 Speaker 3: for a you know, an addition to a property whatever, 603 00:35:14,375 --> 00:35:16,735 Speaker 3: or a garage that was built in the nineteen sixties. 604 00:35:16,775 --> 00:35:19,135 Speaker 3: All of those sorts of things will have a building 605 00:35:19,175 --> 00:35:22,975 Speaker 3: permit and then it will say no CCC and then 606 00:35:23,015 --> 00:35:25,975 Speaker 3: it says in the notes not required because it's before 607 00:35:26,015 --> 00:35:30,215 Speaker 3: such and such a time. Once we moved to building consents, 608 00:35:30,495 --> 00:35:35,295 Speaker 3: then building consents required. The final part of building consent 609 00:35:35,415 --> 00:35:39,095 Speaker 3: is to get a CCC code compliance certificate. So I 610 00:35:39,175 --> 00:35:42,535 Speaker 3: think your claim wouldn't have been against counsel or against 611 00:35:42,535 --> 00:35:46,135 Speaker 3: the previous only was your claim against your lawyer for 612 00:35:46,175 --> 00:35:47,175 Speaker 3: not packing that up. 613 00:35:48,215 --> 00:35:53,935 Speaker 11: No, and there was no way to get that against lawyer. 614 00:35:54,975 --> 00:36:00,975 Speaker 11: So basically under your Salem purchase agreement, as a vendor warranty, 615 00:36:01,215 --> 00:36:05,815 Speaker 11: this is the great part, right, and that inside there 616 00:36:05,815 --> 00:36:10,695 Speaker 11: that talk about the the owner warrants that they have 617 00:36:10,975 --> 00:36:14,135 Speaker 11: no outstanding building events. And that's where we got it. 618 00:36:14,175 --> 00:36:15,975 Speaker 11: So it was a breach of contract on the sale 619 00:36:16,095 --> 00:36:24,335 Speaker 11: features agreement. Gotcha, And it's really really interesting, it's worth honestly, we. 620 00:36:26,415 --> 00:36:30,615 Speaker 3: Yeah, again, Ray, that would that would only apply if 621 00:36:32,495 --> 00:36:36,095 Speaker 3: the question was asked and the nature of the contract 622 00:36:36,215 --> 00:36:41,775 Speaker 3: includes that clause in it, because yeah, okay. 623 00:36:42,415 --> 00:36:47,015 Speaker 11: It is a really very important thing. If that is 624 00:36:47,055 --> 00:36:51,455 Speaker 11: crossed out at any stage during a purchase agreement, then 625 00:36:52,055 --> 00:36:57,895 Speaker 11: that purchaser needs to be very weird. There's something potentially 626 00:36:57,975 --> 00:37:02,295 Speaker 11: dodgy and behind it. So it wasn't crossed out right people, 627 00:37:02,655 --> 00:37:06,495 Speaker 11: I couldn't remember. We're talking ten to twenty years go. 628 00:37:07,655 --> 00:37:11,975 Speaker 11: But because of the pay Council head on five, very 629 00:37:11,975 --> 00:37:16,175 Speaker 11: clear they they basically breached the contract under that vendor warranty. 630 00:37:16,695 --> 00:37:18,735 Speaker 3: I've got one more question for your Ray. Can you 631 00:37:18,815 --> 00:37:20,455 Speaker 3: just hold on? We'll get a break out of the 632 00:37:20,455 --> 00:37:22,375 Speaker 3: way and a come back. It's a very important question 633 00:37:22,455 --> 00:37:23,495 Speaker 3: back in a moment. 634 00:37:23,575 --> 00:37:27,975 Speaker 1: Measure twice, cut once, but maybe call Pead first, Peta 635 00:37:28,015 --> 00:37:32,055 Speaker 1: Wolfcamp the resident builder with light four solar save power 636 00:37:32,095 --> 00:37:35,495 Speaker 1: in twenty twenty five and Earn air boinds dollars news talks. 637 00:37:35,535 --> 00:37:39,655 Speaker 3: It'd be we've got Ray back with us and Ray. 638 00:37:39,695 --> 00:37:42,815 Speaker 3: I just wanted to ask, in terms of this particular 639 00:37:42,855 --> 00:37:45,815 Speaker 3: sale and purchase, was this completed let's say in the 640 00:37:45,855 --> 00:37:51,455 Speaker 3: last four to five years? Yeah, okay, roughly how long ago? 641 00:37:51,495 --> 00:37:57,935 Speaker 3: Because the landscape is changing, and you know, if you 642 00:37:57,935 --> 00:38:00,295 Speaker 3: haven't been involved in the sale and purchase for a while, 643 00:38:01,575 --> 00:38:04,575 Speaker 3: you'll possibly think that it's like it always was, but 644 00:38:04,655 --> 00:38:08,375 Speaker 3: it's changed quite a lot, and it's it's changed quite 645 00:38:08,415 --> 00:38:09,935 Speaker 3: a lot, I think in the last few years. And 646 00:38:09,935 --> 00:38:13,455 Speaker 3: I think that's where this has allowed you some redress. Right, 647 00:38:13,895 --> 00:38:17,855 Speaker 3: So if a vendor states that there's nothing outstanding with 648 00:38:17,895 --> 00:38:20,495 Speaker 3: the property and all the rest of it, and in 649 00:38:20,535 --> 00:38:22,295 Speaker 3: this case it sounds like they might have said that 650 00:38:22,335 --> 00:38:25,215 Speaker 3: because they just weren't fully aware, but it's then in 651 00:38:25,255 --> 00:38:29,935 Speaker 3: the contract. You're right, you've got redressed through the contract 652 00:38:29,935 --> 00:38:32,015 Speaker 3: to go, well, you should have known this or you 653 00:38:32,055 --> 00:38:34,615 Speaker 3: did know and you decided not to tell us, and 654 00:38:34,695 --> 00:38:36,975 Speaker 3: therefore the cost is yours. Good on you. 655 00:38:37,895 --> 00:38:41,375 Speaker 11: Yeah one. And what had happened is that with a 656 00:38:41,455 --> 00:38:44,455 Speaker 11: garage we had to do a reclaid. There was moisture 657 00:38:44,455 --> 00:38:49,055 Speaker 11: and that pound. It's all started with council.

But he had managed to get 734 00:43:05,015 --> 00:43:09,455 Speaker 3: redress because of the nature of the sale and purchase agreement, 735 00:43:09,695 --> 00:43:14,095 Speaker 3: and that's all around a duty to declare. I think 736 00:43:14,575 --> 00:43:18,015 Speaker 3: we might reach out to actually a previous contributor to 737 00:43:18,095 --> 00:43:20,535 Speaker 3: the show who is a real estate agent who knows 738 00:43:20,575 --> 00:43:23,055 Speaker 3: a lot about the legal side of a sale and 739 00:43:23,055 --> 00:43:25,255 Speaker 3: purchase and get him on the show. So I'll give 740 00:43:25,335 --> 00:43:27,295 Speaker 3: him a call during the week and we'll talk about 741 00:43:27,295 --> 00:43:29,455 Speaker 3: that sometime in the next couple of weeks. In the 742 00:43:29,495 --> 00:43:34,215 Speaker 3: same way that I mentioned, We've got a property expert, 743 00:43:34,935 --> 00:43:37,975 Speaker 3: property law expert who joined us for the first time 744 00:43:38,055 --> 00:43:40,455 Speaker 3: last year, looking forward to having him back on the show. 745 00:43:40,615 --> 00:43:44,215 Speaker 3: To be fair, if there is a particular expert area 746 00:43:44,295 --> 00:43:47,575 Speaker 3: that you would like me to sort of investigate or 747 00:43:47,615 --> 00:43:50,415 Speaker 3: get someone in to speak to, feel free to either 748 00:43:50,495 --> 00:43:53,015 Speaker 3: text or email and I'll add that to the list. 749 00:43:53,055 --> 00:43:56,015 Speaker 3: We'll get Hamish back.

Yeah, 776 00:45:21,935 --> 00:45:29,295 Speaker 10: step three inches thick, yes, and yeah it's sister sap 777 00:45:29,335 --> 00:45:36,055 Speaker 10: and take rotted off. What is involved in getting that 778 00:45:36,095 --> 00:45:39,855 Speaker 10: window show out? Do I have to get the window out? 779 00:45:41,055 --> 00:45:41,335 Speaker 2: Yeah? 780 00:45:41,415 --> 00:45:46,175 Speaker 3: I mean you can sort of do it in situe, 781 00:45:46,375 --> 00:45:51,095 Speaker 3: But typically the window does it have any fixed panes, 782 00:45:51,375 --> 00:45:53,095 Speaker 3: fixed sashes attached to them? 783 00:45:54,335 --> 00:45:54,455 Speaker 9: All? 784 00:45:54,535 --> 00:45:54,695 Speaker 10: Right? 785 00:45:54,935 --> 00:45:59,055 Speaker 3: Like the glass above the sill, is that an opening sashes? 786 00:46:00,255 --> 00:46:00,495 Speaker 6: Yes? 787 00:46:00,535 --> 00:46:00,855 Speaker 7: It is? 788 00:46:01,015 --> 00:46:04,215 Speaker 3: Okay, all of it Okay, yep. 789 00:46:05,055 --> 00:46:08,295 Speaker 10: There's one big run in the middle and two on 790 00:46:08,375 --> 00:46:09,975 Speaker 10: the sides and two lead lights up. 791 00:46:10,495 --> 00:46:14,535 Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm with you. Yeah, Typically with these sorts of things, 792 00:46:14,775 --> 00:46:17,775 Speaker 3: Typically with these sorts of things, Ellen, you know, there's 793 00:46:17,855 --> 00:46:20,655 Speaker 3: a little bit of good timber left, even if there's 794 00:46:20,655 --> 00:46:24,175 Speaker 3: some decay in it. So from front to back, from 795 00:46:24,215 --> 00:46:27,175 Speaker 3: inside to outside, are you saying that the rot has 796 00:46:27,215 --> 00:46:30,055 Speaker 3: gone all the way through there's no good timber left. 797 00:46:32,695 --> 00:46:36,215 Speaker 10: There's quite a lot of good timber, yep. But there's 798 00:46:36,375 --> 00:46:40,735 Speaker 10: a little bit at the back right in underneath the window. 799 00:46:43,855 --> 00:46:47,415 Speaker 10: Some of it doesn't go all the way through, right. 800 00:46:48,495 --> 00:46:48,695 Speaker 6: Yeah. 801 00:46:49,575 --> 00:46:52,375 Speaker 3: The reason I ask is that when I've done those 802 00:46:52,375 --> 00:46:55,775 Speaker 3: sorts of repairs, I like, taking the sill out is 803 00:46:55,855 --> 00:46:57,815 Speaker 3: quite a lot of work. Then you have to get 804 00:46:57,855 --> 00:47:01,215 Speaker 3: a new sill made. That's exactly the same profile, and 805 00:47:01,255 --> 00:47:03,615 Speaker 3: that can be quite tricky, and then you have to 806 00:47:03,655 --> 00:47:05,495 Speaker 3: get it in and then you have to attach it. 807 00:47:05,575 --> 00:47:08,495 Speaker 3: And often the way in which they're attached is in 808 00:47:08,615 --> 00:47:12,215 Speaker 3: areas that are inaccessible. So most of the time, for 809 00:47:12,255 --> 00:47:15,255 Speaker 3: an older window like that, the frame on the side 810 00:47:15,815 --> 00:47:19,895 Speaker 3: extends down past the sill and is nailed through the side. Well, 811 00:47:19,975 --> 00:47:23,575 Speaker 3: you can't get into that space again without taking the 812 00:47:23,815 --> 00:47:28,695 Speaker 3: entire window out and working on it. So the typical 813 00:47:28,735 --> 00:47:31,775 Speaker 3: approach is to go, I'm going to take out any 814 00:47:31,895 --> 00:47:35,975 Speaker 3: rotten pieces of timber until I go back to something 815 00:47:36,015 --> 00:47:39,695 Speaker 3: that's reasonably sound. Then I can shape up a couple 816 00:47:39,695 --> 00:47:43,695 Speaker 3: of replacement pieces out of tantalized timber, and I'm going 817 00:47:43,735 --> 00:47:46,695 Speaker 3: to glue and screw those in, and then I can 818 00:47:46,815 --> 00:47:49,175 Speaker 3: dress that off, you know, feather it off like with 819 00:47:49,335 --> 00:47:52,215 Speaker 3: repair care or something like that, and then paint over 820 00:47:52,255 --> 00:47:55,495 Speaker 3: the whole thing rather than try and take the entire 821 00:47:55,615 --> 00:47:56,255 Speaker 3: sill out. 822 00:47:57,295 --> 00:48:00,935 Speaker 10: That's exactly what I've done. Oh, I got another bit 823 00:48:00,975 --> 00:48:08,015 Speaker 10: of timber and put it in, angered it in underneath there, 824 00:48:08,335 --> 00:48:11,615 Speaker 10: and I put it in and two pieces. 825 00:48:11,655 --> 00:48:13,895 Speaker 3: Actually, that's okay, that's what it takes. 826 00:48:14,015 --> 00:48:19,815 Speaker 10: The pizzas went right through. I put that piece piece 827 00:48:19,855 --> 00:48:28,215 Speaker 10: of treated pine in there, and I said it all right, 828 00:48:28,335 --> 00:48:31,055 Speaker 10: and I shoved the other piece in underneath, and I 829 00:48:31,415 --> 00:48:38,295 Speaker 10: pulled it out again and glued it out. Uh, it's 830 00:48:38,335 --> 00:48:45,135 Speaker 10: a little bit down, a little bit so you can't 831 00:48:45,175 --> 00:48:46,335 Speaker 10: actually see the timber. 832 00:48:46,655 --> 00:48:46,855 Speaker 6: Yep. 833 00:48:46,975 --> 00:48:50,815 Speaker 10: So I filled the rest over with a bit of filler. 834 00:48:52,375 --> 00:48:54,175 Speaker 3: Again, you've got to make sure that you're using the 835 00:48:54,255 --> 00:48:56,895 Speaker 3: right type of filler, Like some of them don't bond 836 00:48:56,935 --> 00:48:59,415 Speaker 3: particularly well and they tend to, you know, kind of 837 00:48:59,455 --> 00:49:03,655 Speaker 3: peel out, Whereas you can now get fillers that are 838 00:49:03,655 --> 00:49:06,775 Speaker 3: a combination of an adhesive and a filler. And again 839 00:49:06,855 --> 00:49:10,055 Speaker 3: that's that's repair Care, which is a two part product 840 00:49:10,455 --> 00:49:13,015 Speaker 3: that you can you can use to bond in there, 841 00:49:13,055 --> 00:49:15,215 Speaker 3: and you can shape it as it's drying, and then 842 00:49:15,255 --> 00:49:19,415 Speaker 3: once it is thoroughly dry, you can send it and 843 00:49:19,455 --> 00:49:23,375 Speaker 3: then it takes paint quite well as also. But look, 844 00:49:23,415 --> 00:49:26,975 Speaker 3: I think in general it sounds like you're reasonably on 845 00:49:27,175 --> 00:49:27,975 Speaker 3: on the right track. 846 00:49:29,175 --> 00:49:33,815 Speaker 10: Yeah, that's that's that's good for them pulling your way 847 00:49:33,815 --> 00:49:35,775 Speaker 10: out and replacing the window. 848 00:49:35,975 --> 00:49:40,375 Speaker 3: And Yeah, the other the other thing i'd add, Ellen 849 00:49:40,495 --> 00:49:44,295 Speaker 3: is if in these situations where you're treating you know, 850 00:49:44,415 --> 00:49:48,095 Speaker 3: areas with rot and you're fetching out the old rot 851 00:49:48,215 --> 00:49:52,335 Speaker 3: and then putting a new piece in. Ideally, treat the 852 00:49:52,455 --> 00:49:56,615 Speaker 3: exposed areas of the existing timber with a preservative, a 853 00:49:56,655 --> 00:50:00,855 Speaker 3: timber preservative. So there's a couple of products out there, protein, frame, 854 00:50:00,975 --> 00:50:04,415 Speaker 3: savor and a few others, and and that will just 855 00:50:06,415 --> 00:50:10,175 Speaker 3: low down or potentially stop that rot that might be 856 00:50:10,455 --> 00:50:14,455 Speaker 3: in the timber already from continuing to grow and develop 857 00:50:14,495 --> 00:50:17,935 Speaker 3: through the timber. So you know, do the exposed areas 858 00:50:18,015 --> 00:50:20,935 Speaker 3: as well as use the right type of timber. I 859 00:50:21,175 --> 00:50:25,175 Speaker 3: treated timber for the repairs. But it sounds like you've 860 00:50:25,255 --> 00:50:28,255 Speaker 3: you've got it under control. I mean, it's it's one 861 00:50:28,255 --> 00:50:31,455 Speaker 3: of those jobs, you know, if you're contracting someone to 862 00:50:31,535 --> 00:50:35,375 Speaker 3: do it, and you know, I've done so many, like 863 00:50:35,455 --> 00:50:40,375 Speaker 3: double hung sash windows for example, where it's time consuming. Right, 864 00:50:40,415 --> 00:50:43,335 Speaker 3: it's fiddley work. You disassemble the window, you pull out 865 00:50:43,335 --> 00:50:46,575 Speaker 3: the sashes, you take out the dividing bed. You might 866 00:50:46,615 --> 00:50:49,415 Speaker 3: have to do a few little repairs. You could spend 867 00:50:49,415 --> 00:50:51,855 Speaker 3: a day two days working on a window, put it 868 00:50:51,895 --> 00:50:54,735 Speaker 3: back together again. And look, when I'm doing it on 869 00:50:55,295 --> 00:50:57,655 Speaker 3: my place or one of my own projects, then that's 870 00:50:57,735 --> 00:50:59,975 Speaker 3: my time and that's fine when I'm doing it for 871 00:51:00,015 --> 00:51:02,455 Speaker 3: a client, and then you know at the invoice at 872 00:51:02,495 --> 00:51:03,935 Speaker 3: the end of the week you've got I spent a 873 00:51:04,015 --> 00:51:05,935 Speaker 3: day and a half working on a window and at 874 00:51:05,935 --> 00:51:07,535 Speaker 3: the end just looks like a window. 875 00:51:08,015 --> 00:51:08,375 Speaker 4: Yikes. 876 00:51:09,695 --> 00:51:11,975 Speaker 3: Eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the number to call 877 00:51:12,015 --> 00:51:14,775 Speaker 3: if you've got a painting question.

And here I 904 00:52:54,295 --> 00:52:56,575 Speaker 3: was thinking people were being a little bit shy with 905 00:52:56,615 --> 00:53:00,615 Speaker 3: their painting questions today. But I know, obviously there's quite 906 00:53:00,615 --> 00:53:02,815 Speaker 3: a lot of painting going on, and to be fair, 907 00:53:03,735 --> 00:53:06,855 Speaker 3: it feels like a summer holiday bryce is not complete 908 00:53:06,935 --> 00:53:08,175 Speaker 3: unless we do some painting. 909 00:53:09,455 --> 00:53:11,935 Speaker 4: Yes, with the radio screaming in the background. 910 00:53:12,895 --> 00:53:14,495 Speaker 3: Absolutely. 911 00:53:15,215 --> 00:53:15,455 Speaker 9: Yeah. 912 00:53:15,495 --> 00:53:17,935 Speaker 3: I mean, look, it was certainly part of my childhood 913 00:53:17,935 --> 00:53:20,255 Speaker 3: growing up, and I kind of get that sense of 914 00:53:20,295 --> 00:53:22,055 Speaker 3: looking around the house, looking at the little jobs that 915 00:53:22,135 --> 00:53:25,175 Speaker 3: need doing going. I kind of understand now why Dad 916 00:53:25,295 --> 00:53:29,095 Speaker 3: every summer holidays he was out there doing painting constantly. 917 00:53:29,295 --> 00:53:33,855 Speaker 4: Yes, goodness, the timber plank between two sawhorses. 918 00:53:34,255 --> 00:53:38,775 Speaker 3: Oh, it's not even go there. Yeah, some things thankfully 919 00:53:38,815 --> 00:53:41,575 Speaker 3: have improved. Hey, well, great to have you back on 920 00:53:41,615 --> 00:53:45,975 Speaker 3: the show for twenty twenty five. Really appreciate it. And 921 00:53:45,975 --> 00:53:48,135 Speaker 3: and you're you know, this is the time, I guess, 922 00:53:48,175 --> 00:53:49,855 Speaker 3: you know, I was working, to be fair, I was 923 00:53:49,895 --> 00:53:52,735 Speaker 3: working in the garden yesterday. I wasn't doing any painting yesterday, 924 00:53:53,095 --> 00:53:56,335 Speaker 3: but I was very aware that working in direct sunlight. 925 00:53:56,655 --> 00:53:58,335 Speaker 3: You know, that's hard on the back of your knees, 926 00:53:58,415 --> 00:54:02,055 Speaker 3: as I've discovered this morning. But it's if you're trying 927 00:54:02,095 --> 00:54:04,095 Speaker 3: to paint in direct sunlight, that's a pretty much a 928 00:54:04,175 --> 00:54:04,855 Speaker 3: no no, isn't it. 929 00:54:05,415 --> 00:54:05,615 Speaker 8: Yeah. 930 00:54:05,655 --> 00:54:10,495 Speaker 4: I just it artificially sort of speeds up the drying 931 00:54:10,735 --> 00:54:13,935 Speaker 4: or the curing of the pain basically, and you know, 932 00:54:14,015 --> 00:54:17,055 Speaker 4: it's meant to sort of take its time. And you know, 933 00:54:17,455 --> 00:54:19,575 Speaker 4: even though it feels dry on the surface, so you know, 934 00:54:19,655 --> 00:54:22,335 Speaker 4: it's still not properly cue it underneath. 935 00:54:22,335 --> 00:54:26,375 Speaker 3: Excuse me, Yeah, yeah, you're absolutely right. Hey, well, look 936 00:54:26,415 --> 00:54:28,735 Speaker 3: the text are coming thick and fast, so let's rip 937 00:54:28,815 --> 00:54:34,255 Speaker 3: into it now, quick dry undercoat, razine, quick dry undercoat 938 00:54:34,295 --> 00:54:38,775 Speaker 3: on a nineteen eight bungalow exterior. I wonder whether people 939 00:54:38,775 --> 00:54:41,655 Speaker 3: are asking about certain types of native timber that don't 940 00:54:41,695 --> 00:54:48,415 Speaker 3: really like oil based or water solvent born primers. Is yeah, 941 00:54:48,655 --> 00:54:49,855 Speaker 3: what's the general. 942 00:54:49,575 --> 00:54:57,735 Speaker 4: Let Totra and Natti right have something in it that 943 00:54:57,735 --> 00:55:00,215 Speaker 4: that oil based primers do not like it, just to fix, 944 00:55:00,535 --> 00:55:02,775 Speaker 4: fix the cross linking of it and the drying of 945 00:55:02,815 --> 00:55:06,015 Speaker 4: it and stuff like that, whereas good old quick dry 946 00:55:06,295 --> 00:55:08,295 Speaker 4: and they'll just fly over it and you can put 947 00:55:08,295 --> 00:55:09,815 Speaker 4: anything you like over the top of it. 948 00:55:10,015 --> 00:55:12,415 Speaker 3: Yeah, perfect, all right. I knew it was the case. 949 00:55:13,215 --> 00:55:17,095 Speaker 3: So if now nineteen oh eight, chances are it's culdry 950 00:55:17,215 --> 00:55:20,575 Speaker 3: for example, on the exterior, or if it's a slightly 951 00:55:20,615 --> 00:55:23,855 Speaker 3: old one, it might even be some early cedar. For those, 952 00:55:24,255 --> 00:55:26,775 Speaker 3: you can use a solvent born or an oil based 953 00:55:28,175 --> 00:55:28,535 Speaker 3: with the. 954 00:55:28,535 --> 00:55:31,335 Speaker 4: Hard native timbers, I'd probably just go quick drive right 955 00:55:31,415 --> 00:55:34,695 Speaker 4: the cedar. The cedar. You know, that's if it's really 956 00:55:34,735 --> 00:55:38,175 Speaker 4: super old, which probably is, you know, you'd be you'd 957 00:55:38,175 --> 00:55:40,895 Speaker 4: be stripping that right back because cedar is quite a 958 00:55:40,895 --> 00:55:43,175 Speaker 4: soft timber, and you know stuff can peel away from 959 00:55:43,175 --> 00:55:46,735 Speaker 4: it quite easily. Yep, I can, So you'd be using 960 00:55:46,895 --> 00:55:48,575 Speaker 4: if you're going back to be a timber, I would 961 00:55:48,655 --> 00:55:52,295 Speaker 4: use on cedar timber lock, which is like a timber 962 00:55:52,335 --> 00:55:57,255 Speaker 4: preservative and binder, and then you can put your oil 963 00:55:57,255 --> 00:55:58,975 Speaker 4: based primer over the top of that and you've got 964 00:55:58,975 --> 00:56:01,655 Speaker 4: a good solid base for coats over the top. 965 00:56:02,175 --> 00:56:06,655 Speaker 3: Bant brilliant question for Bryce. I want to restain a deck, 966 00:56:06,695 --> 00:56:08,855 Speaker 3: but it's got a couple of paint marks on it. 967 00:56:08,935 --> 00:56:13,855 Speaker 3: How do I prep these spots and areas? So beer 968 00:56:13,935 --> 00:56:15,335 Speaker 3: timber try you. 969 00:56:15,375 --> 00:56:18,975 Speaker 4: Have to try and scrape it off, and I would 970 00:56:19,175 --> 00:56:21,615 Speaker 4: instead of just spot sanding, you might have to sand 971 00:56:21,615 --> 00:56:25,255 Speaker 4: the entire length of the offending board. Otherwise you'll end 972 00:56:25,295 --> 00:56:28,615 Speaker 4: up with light patches where you're going to do you staining. Yes, 973 00:56:28,895 --> 00:56:31,135 Speaker 4: you know, if you sand an entire length of the board, 974 00:56:31,215 --> 00:56:34,495 Speaker 4: or at least to a joint on the timber, you 975 00:56:34,495 --> 00:56:37,495 Speaker 4: know at least you'll have something that's you know, reasonably 976 00:56:38,535 --> 00:56:41,975 Speaker 4: what's the word I'm looking for, Well, it's not patchy anyway. 977 00:56:41,735 --> 00:56:44,455 Speaker 3: Yeah, Because if you've got a bit of let's say 978 00:56:44,455 --> 00:56:46,535 Speaker 3: it's a bit of pine decking, and you've spilt a 979 00:56:46,535 --> 00:56:48,895 Speaker 3: bit of paint on one area and you vigorously sand 980 00:56:48,935 --> 00:56:50,455 Speaker 3: that out and you get rid of it. But suddenly 981 00:56:50,455 --> 00:56:52,815 Speaker 3: you've made that timber look completely different to the rest 982 00:56:52,815 --> 00:56:54,655 Speaker 3: of it. And when you stain it, that's just going 983 00:56:54,735 --> 00:56:55,695 Speaker 3: to highlight that, isn't it. 984 00:56:56,255 --> 00:56:57,935 Speaker 4: Yeah, you've gone back to nose clean timber. 985 00:56:59,375 --> 00:57:02,975 Speaker 3: All right, So try and even that sanding out and 986 00:57:03,015 --> 00:57:06,415 Speaker 3: then it will appear or be less obvious. Right, A 987 00:57:06,455 --> 00:57:09,335 Speaker 3: low brick fence that has white paint along the top 988 00:57:09,375 --> 00:57:11,415 Speaker 3: and on the post that's all chipped and needs painting. 989 00:57:11,815 --> 00:57:14,215 Speaker 3: Best way of repainting. 990 00:57:16,575 --> 00:57:18,815 Speaker 4: Well, you could there's there's two ways you could do it. 991 00:57:19,855 --> 00:57:24,495 Speaker 4: Any beer brick obviously wouldn't have to have pigmented teela 992 00:57:24,535 --> 00:57:25,175 Speaker 4: or a sure. 993 00:57:24,935 --> 00:57:26,615 Speaker 9: Seem applied to it. 994 00:57:26,655 --> 00:57:28,455 Speaker 4: But then you know, you could use a big sick 995 00:57:28,575 --> 00:57:31,735 Speaker 4: lambs we'll roller, right, you know, which would you know? 996 00:57:31,775 --> 00:57:36,335 Speaker 4: Which is something like well somewhere between sixteen and maybe 997 00:57:36,375 --> 00:57:39,495 Speaker 4: twenty mili worth of fibers on the roller sleeve, which 998 00:57:39,535 --> 00:57:42,775 Speaker 4: does get into the pointing and stuff like that carries 999 00:57:42,815 --> 00:57:44,855 Speaker 4: a very large amount of paint at the same time. 1000 00:57:44,975 --> 00:57:48,935 Speaker 4: Or you could spray. 1001 00:57:47,655 --> 00:57:50,935 Speaker 3: Yeah, okay, and in terms of going over let's say 1002 00:57:50,975 --> 00:57:55,095 Speaker 3: those exposed areas of whether masonry is exposed as opposed 1003 00:57:55,135 --> 00:57:58,415 Speaker 3: to repainting over existing paint. Would you spot prime? 1004 00:57:59,415 --> 00:58:01,855 Speaker 4: Yes, spot prime on the beer areas? 1005 00:58:01,895 --> 00:58:02,135 Speaker 6: Yeah. 1006 00:58:02,255 --> 00:58:02,455 Speaker 10: Cool. 1007 00:58:03,295 --> 00:58:05,535 Speaker 3: Now they also go to say in this text, also, 1008 00:58:05,615 --> 00:58:08,455 Speaker 3: my home's on a busy bend in terms of the road, 1009 00:58:08,535 --> 00:58:10,255 Speaker 3: and I was wondering if there's a paint that shows 1010 00:58:10,335 --> 00:58:13,375 Speaker 3: up in the dark for safety, like the white lines 1011 00:58:13,455 --> 00:58:18,975 Speaker 3: on a road. Is there aluminiscent, loom lumscent painted. 1012 00:58:20,255 --> 00:58:21,455 Speaker 10: That reflects Not? 1013 00:58:21,655 --> 00:58:25,255 Speaker 4: Really. We do have small pots of fluorescent paint that 1014 00:58:25,455 --> 00:58:28,455 Speaker 4: we use for craft purposes. You know, they're become in 1015 00:58:28,455 --> 00:58:30,735 Speaker 4: a two fifty milli pot, so you'd be you know, 1016 00:58:31,135 --> 00:58:32,975 Speaker 4: you'd be buying quite a few if you wanted it. 1017 00:58:33,695 --> 00:58:35,495 Speaker 3: I don't know that they necessarily want to paint the 1018 00:58:35,495 --> 00:58:37,535 Speaker 3: whole thing, but maybe just a couple of strips on 1019 00:58:37,575 --> 00:58:39,975 Speaker 3: it that sort of would highlight the fact that, hey, 1020 00:58:40,015 --> 00:58:40,975 Speaker 3: there's a bend in the road. 1021 00:58:41,935 --> 00:58:45,895 Speaker 4: But I know what the roadmaking guys do. They have 1022 00:58:47,095 --> 00:58:50,615 Speaker 4: glass beads, very very fine glass beats. It feels like sand. 1023 00:58:51,695 --> 00:58:55,535 Speaker 4: And when as they're putting the roadmaking paint down, if 1024 00:58:55,535 --> 00:58:57,775 Speaker 4: they want the lights to shine through it. They actually 1025 00:58:58,175 --> 00:59:00,655 Speaker 4: immediately throw these glass beads on top of the wet 1026 00:59:01,095 --> 00:59:04,535 Speaker 4: road marking paint that they're doing and when the car 1027 00:59:04,655 --> 00:59:09,775 Speaker 4: lights shine through it and actually looming a right, whether 1028 00:59:09,855 --> 00:59:12,615 Speaker 4: or not it's still the practice, I couldn't tell you, 1029 00:59:12,695 --> 00:59:16,375 Speaker 4: but you know, you know I've had occasion to sort 1030 00:59:16,375 --> 00:59:21,455 Speaker 4: of see that in action in the past. So yeah, 1031 00:59:21,535 --> 00:59:23,735 Speaker 4: you'd have to go to a road marking supplies maybe 1032 00:59:23,775 --> 00:59:25,415 Speaker 4: and see if you can get some of those little 1033 00:59:25,455 --> 00:59:28,735 Speaker 4: glass beads just throw it. 1034 00:59:28,775 --> 00:59:32,735 Speaker 3: Ah, yeah, I'm with you, Or just buy some reflectors 1035 00:59:32,855 --> 00:59:37,295 Speaker 3: and screw them on might be easier as well. Right morning, 1036 00:59:37,295 --> 00:59:39,535 Speaker 3: Pat question for your razine man, that's to you Bryce. 1037 00:59:39,655 --> 00:59:43,295 Speaker 3: Painting over wallpaper that has previously been painted some edges 1038 00:59:43,335 --> 00:59:46,495 Speaker 3: have lifted. What's the best glue to use and what 1039 00:59:46,775 --> 00:59:50,015 Speaker 3: to do whether the paint looks like it's repelling away 1040 00:59:50,095 --> 00:59:54,175 Speaker 3: from a waxy or oily substance underneath. It's been cleaned 1041 00:59:54,215 --> 00:59:57,215 Speaker 3: down with sugar soaked and I'm painting to top coat, 1042 00:59:57,255 --> 00:59:59,775 Speaker 3: so there's a lot in there. So prepping. If you're 1043 00:59:59,775 --> 01:00:01,895 Speaker 3: going to paint over wallpaper, what's the prep. 1044 01:00:03,855 --> 01:00:07,735 Speaker 4: Well, if it's been painted already, yep, you just need. 1045 01:00:08,175 --> 01:00:10,855 Speaker 4: You need to wash it down, you know, just get 1046 01:00:10,935 --> 01:00:14,135 Speaker 4: rid of dirt, dust and various bits of grim and 1047 01:00:14,135 --> 01:00:17,135 Speaker 4: stuff like that. If it's a vinyl wallpaper and it 1048 01:00:17,175 --> 01:00:20,375 Speaker 4: hasn't been painted, then you're going to need a vinyl 1049 01:00:20,415 --> 01:00:23,495 Speaker 4: wallpaper sealer before you put water based paints over the 1050 01:00:23,535 --> 01:00:27,375 Speaker 4: top of it. The plasticizers and the vinyl do not 1051 01:00:27,455 --> 01:00:31,855 Speaker 4: allow acrylics to drive prop me and once you've put 1052 01:00:31,855 --> 01:00:33,935 Speaker 4: your paint up, you can eventually peel it off and 1053 01:00:34,295 --> 01:00:40,695 Speaker 4: rubbery type strips. So if it's bere vinyl paper, paper 1054 01:00:40,775 --> 01:00:44,575 Speaker 4: sealer and then two coats of acrylic, yes, if the 1055 01:00:44,735 --> 01:00:48,295 Speaker 4: edges are peeling away and it's a painted surface, then 1056 01:00:48,295 --> 01:00:49,775 Speaker 4: you might have to use something like a bit of 1057 01:00:49,815 --> 01:00:54,055 Speaker 4: PVA just to just wish it back down again. Then 1058 01:00:54,095 --> 01:00:58,735 Speaker 4: white exs PVA off and carry on as per before. 1059 01:01:00,495 --> 01:01:01,455 Speaker 4: What was the third thing? 1060 01:01:04,895 --> 01:01:08,135 Speaker 3: What they're saying is that the paint and looks it's repelling. Well, 1061 01:01:08,135 --> 01:01:10,255 Speaker 3: that's that whole issue of vinyl, isn't it. So if 1062 01:01:10,295 --> 01:01:13,135 Speaker 3: you've got a vinyl paper, it won't accept paint, so 1063 01:01:13,215 --> 01:01:14,895 Speaker 3: you need to use the right celer. 1064 01:01:15,495 --> 01:01:18,935 Speaker 4: Yeah, but it won't it won't sort of separate virtually 1065 01:01:18,975 --> 01:01:21,775 Speaker 4: straight away, right it'll go over the top of it, 1066 01:01:21,855 --> 01:01:23,935 Speaker 4: but you'll be able to pick at it with your 1067 01:01:23,935 --> 01:01:28,095 Speaker 4: fingers and just feel it off. Okay, there might be 1068 01:01:28,175 --> 01:01:30,975 Speaker 4: some form of contamination, like if it's a kitchen area, 1069 01:01:31,015 --> 01:01:33,015 Speaker 4: for instance, it might be a bit of cooking fat 1070 01:01:33,135 --> 01:01:35,495 Speaker 4: or a bit of grease or something like that that's 1071 01:01:35,495 --> 01:01:36,415 Speaker 4: caused it to do that. 1072 01:01:37,175 --> 01:01:39,295 Speaker 3: Now, I think as a general thing, we tend to 1073 01:01:39,575 --> 01:01:45,695 Speaker 3: underestimate just how grimy surfaces can be over time, and that, 1074 01:01:46,255 --> 01:01:49,335 Speaker 3: you know, washing down surfaces prior to painting is actually 1075 01:01:49,375 --> 01:01:50,815 Speaker 3: really really important. 1076 01:01:52,175 --> 01:01:55,135 Speaker 4: A lot of people revert to sugar soap, which, you know, 1077 01:01:55,255 --> 01:01:57,775 Speaker 4: while it will do the job, it's very very powerful 1078 01:01:57,815 --> 01:02:00,935 Speaker 4: cleaner and a grease remover, but if you do use it, 1079 01:02:01,015 --> 01:02:03,735 Speaker 4: you've got to make sure that you you rinse and 1080 01:02:04,455 --> 01:02:07,575 Speaker 4: get rid of all the sugar right grease residue off 1081 01:02:07,615 --> 01:02:08,135 Speaker 4: the area. 1082 01:02:08,415 --> 01:02:10,095 Speaker 8: Yes, it's if. 1083 01:02:09,975 --> 01:02:15,135 Speaker 4: You leave any sort of residual or soap containing grease 1084 01:02:15,215 --> 01:02:17,095 Speaker 4: residual or whatever you'd like to call it, If you 1085 01:02:17,175 --> 01:02:19,095 Speaker 4: leave that on the surface, that's another issue. 1086 01:02:19,295 --> 01:02:19,615 Speaker 8: Yeah. 1087 01:02:19,695 --> 01:02:26,215 Speaker 3: I appreciate that, yep, or someone's asking about coating over 1088 01:02:26,335 --> 01:02:31,655 Speaker 3: a rubber membrane, but I think that that's best left. 1089 01:02:31,775 --> 01:02:34,695 Speaker 3: You know, there are proprietary products for that a you. 1090 01:02:34,655 --> 01:02:37,415 Speaker 4: Know there there is We've got a product that will 1091 01:02:37,455 --> 01:02:41,255 Speaker 4: stick to beautinol okay, but there is there are other 1092 01:02:41,855 --> 01:02:44,055 Speaker 4: membranes out there, like I don't know whether you've had 1093 01:02:44,055 --> 01:02:48,655 Speaker 4: a t P A yep, danger danger, Do not paint it. 1094 01:02:49,135 --> 01:02:51,415 Speaker 4: Nothing will stick to it, Nothing will stick to it. 1095 01:02:51,695 --> 01:02:57,535 Speaker 3: T PO yeah, TP yeah. Now this is a classic 1096 01:02:57,575 --> 01:03:00,015 Speaker 3: and I noticed that this is starting to happen to 1097 01:03:00,055 --> 01:03:02,015 Speaker 3: be fair at my place as well. How do you 1098 01:03:02,135 --> 01:03:05,415 Speaker 3: paint over where a nail has started to rust and 1099 01:03:05,455 --> 01:03:07,975 Speaker 3: it's it's bleach eating out. You can see the rust 1100 01:03:08,015 --> 01:03:11,095 Speaker 3: e merging through a painted surface. So let's say you 1101 01:03:11,135 --> 01:03:13,695 Speaker 3: painted the house, you know five years ago, ten years ago, 1102 01:03:13,855 --> 01:03:15,855 Speaker 3: you had a couple of rusty nails and they're starting 1103 01:03:15,935 --> 01:03:18,215 Speaker 3: to bleed out. What's what's the treatment there? 1104 01:03:19,615 --> 01:03:24,015 Speaker 4: Generally, if the best way is to punch the nail 1105 01:03:24,095 --> 01:03:29,815 Speaker 4: through and replace it with a galvanized point, right, you'll 1106 01:03:29,855 --> 01:03:34,295 Speaker 4: still have basically rustaining. So you need to neutralize the 1107 01:03:34,375 --> 01:03:38,655 Speaker 4: rustaining with a bit of oxeller cacid. 1108 01:03:39,735 --> 01:03:40,655 Speaker 8: I believe you. 1109 01:03:40,655 --> 01:03:45,135 Speaker 4: Can buy it and at the hardware store. It's a 1110 01:03:45,335 --> 01:03:49,495 Speaker 4: CLR stuff that they are on television that will neutralize 1111 01:03:49,575 --> 01:03:54,255 Speaker 4: rust spots. And then yet once you've done that, you know, 1112 01:03:54,295 --> 01:03:59,575 Speaker 4: punched the nail through prime, refill prime again, and then 1113 01:03:59,735 --> 01:04:01,935 Speaker 4: you know proceed was you know, the acrylic top cut 1114 01:04:01,975 --> 01:04:04,415 Speaker 4: over the top. If it's a good condition, you may 1115 01:04:04,455 --> 01:04:06,695 Speaker 4: be able to get away with just spot priming the areas. 1116 01:04:06,735 --> 01:04:09,735 Speaker 4: But you might have to paint me an entire board, 1117 01:04:09,775 --> 01:04:11,575 Speaker 4: for instance, just to make it even. 1118 01:04:11,615 --> 01:04:15,335 Speaker 3: Right to let it blend in. Here is a really 1119 01:04:15,415 --> 01:04:19,855 Speaker 3: good practical question, Please ask Bryce. What's the best way 1120 01:04:19,855 --> 01:04:23,295 Speaker 3: to keep the top of a paint ten locking ring 1121 01:04:23,615 --> 01:04:25,375 Speaker 3: clean when you're painting. 1122 01:04:26,935 --> 01:04:29,855 Speaker 4: Some guys will actually get a nail and punch little 1123 01:04:29,855 --> 01:04:33,175 Speaker 4: holes around that ring with the lidsits and really that way, 1124 01:04:33,695 --> 01:04:35,575 Speaker 4: and when you know, when they go, you know, when 1125 01:04:35,575 --> 01:04:39,935 Speaker 4: you rub, you you know, take excess paint off to 1126 01:04:39,935 --> 01:04:41,815 Speaker 4: to up your brush on that ring, it sort of 1127 01:04:41,855 --> 01:04:44,735 Speaker 4: just fills it up. But if you guys will punch 1128 01:04:44,855 --> 01:04:47,055 Speaker 4: nail holes in it and it allows you know, wet 1129 01:04:47,055 --> 01:04:48,815 Speaker 4: paint to actually dribble back into the can. 1130 01:04:50,975 --> 01:04:54,175 Speaker 3: It's a bit of a tip. Though. I've started to 1131 01:04:54,175 --> 01:04:55,695 Speaker 3: get into the habit of let's say I've got my 1132 01:04:56,055 --> 01:05:00,295 Speaker 3: you know, four liter ten right, so middle ten, and 1133 01:05:00,815 --> 01:05:04,935 Speaker 3: I decant from there into a smaller ten that I 1134 01:05:05,095 --> 01:05:07,135 Speaker 3: use for, you know, to put my brush in and 1135 01:05:07,175 --> 01:05:10,375 Speaker 3: do my painting rather than painting from the tin that 1136 01:05:10,455 --> 01:05:11,815 Speaker 3: I'm storing my paint in. 1137 01:05:12,775 --> 01:05:15,735 Speaker 4: Yes, because it can you can get skin swarming on 1138 01:05:15,775 --> 01:05:18,695 Speaker 4: the top of any length of time. So yes, that 1139 01:05:19,095 --> 01:05:21,175 Speaker 4: I should have thought of that one before. But I 1140 01:05:21,215 --> 01:05:23,495 Speaker 4: know that people do punched little nail holes into the 1141 01:05:23,535 --> 01:05:24,295 Speaker 4: ring around the tin. 1142 01:05:24,735 --> 01:05:28,175 Speaker 3: Right, that's snifty, and I must have in my workshop 1143 01:05:28,215 --> 01:05:30,935 Speaker 3: the other day that was being used by someone else 1144 01:05:30,975 --> 01:05:34,695 Speaker 3: whose name will go and unmentioned, who then was using 1145 01:05:34,775 --> 01:05:37,215 Speaker 3: the old raisine quick dry to do a little project. 1146 01:05:37,215 --> 01:05:39,175 Speaker 3: And I went back in. They'd done a quite good 1147 01:05:39,255 --> 01:05:41,855 Speaker 3: job of tidying up, but they hadn't nailed the lid 1148 01:05:42,095 --> 01:05:44,975 Speaker 3: or banged the lid down quite tight enough on the top. 1149 01:05:45,015 --> 01:05:47,575 Speaker 3: And I came in, I noticed that the room was 1150 01:05:47,975 --> 01:05:50,415 Speaker 3: sticking up a couple of mill and I thought, ah, rats, 1151 01:05:51,655 --> 01:05:54,335 Speaker 3: So yeah, you've got to clean out that that line. 1152 01:05:54,375 --> 01:05:56,335 Speaker 3: I mean typically I try and do it with the 1153 01:05:56,335 --> 01:06:01,895 Speaker 3: brushes i'm working away, but then making sure that you 1154 01:06:01,975 --> 01:06:05,015 Speaker 3: seal your tins properly before. If you're going to store paint, 1155 01:06:05,055 --> 01:06:07,135 Speaker 3: let's say, over the winter, you want to make sure 1156 01:06:07,175 --> 01:06:11,415 Speaker 3: that that lip is clean and that you keep that 1157 01:06:11,495 --> 01:06:14,295 Speaker 3: clean and seal them correctly before putting them away. 1158 01:06:14,575 --> 01:06:14,895 Speaker 8: Yeah. 1159 01:06:14,975 --> 01:06:16,695 Speaker 4: Yes, and you know the same words with the ten 1160 01:06:16,815 --> 01:06:18,495 Speaker 4: le to pale as well. I mean, you know you 1161 01:06:18,615 --> 01:06:21,295 Speaker 4: get you can get paint built up on the rim 1162 01:06:21,335 --> 01:06:23,175 Speaker 4: of the ten letter pail. So as long as you 1163 01:06:23,295 --> 01:06:25,695 Speaker 4: keep that clean, and if you're going to store it, 1164 01:06:25,775 --> 01:06:27,975 Speaker 4: you know, you put the lid on and then press 1165 01:06:28,095 --> 01:06:29,935 Speaker 4: down in the center of the lid and open it 1166 01:06:30,015 --> 01:06:32,655 Speaker 4: up a bit. Then just force the excess here out 1167 01:06:32,695 --> 01:06:35,935 Speaker 4: of the ten le to pail. Yes, if you know 1168 01:06:35,975 --> 01:06:38,495 Speaker 4: what I mean. You put the lid down, then push 1169 01:06:38,535 --> 01:06:40,175 Speaker 4: the center of the lid and lift a corner up 1170 01:06:40,215 --> 01:06:41,935 Speaker 4: and you're here of the year. Just tiss out as 1171 01:06:41,935 --> 01:06:42,775 Speaker 4: you're pushing it down. 1172 01:06:43,175 --> 01:06:47,415 Speaker 3: Yeah. Absolutely, last one for you this morning, Bryce. Can 1173 01:06:47,455 --> 01:06:54,415 Speaker 3: you paint over malamine kitchen units or kitchen cabinets, Yeah 1174 01:06:55,415 --> 01:06:55,735 Speaker 3: you can. 1175 01:06:56,135 --> 01:07:02,775 Speaker 4: You can. We have a primer called Malamine and laminate primer. Yes, 1176 01:07:03,855 --> 01:07:08,295 Speaker 4: it's it's a water born sealers that you can apply 1177 01:07:08,375 --> 01:07:10,935 Speaker 4: to the cabinet. You've got to let it drive properly. 1178 01:07:11,215 --> 01:07:14,855 Speaker 4: It really takes quite a while to actually gain its adhesion, 1179 01:07:14,895 --> 01:07:18,255 Speaker 4: and very very cold temperature it will stick to it 1180 01:07:18,335 --> 01:07:20,375 Speaker 4: quite happily, but it's got to be kicked. You know, 1181 01:07:20,415 --> 01:07:23,695 Speaker 4: it's got to be clean before you attempt that. And 1182 01:07:23,735 --> 01:07:27,655 Speaker 4: then I would you know, depending on the type of 1183 01:07:27,655 --> 01:07:30,575 Speaker 4: paint you wanted to put over the top, you will 1184 01:07:30,615 --> 01:07:33,815 Speaker 4: need to undicate it as well, just to provide a 1185 01:07:33,815 --> 01:07:37,495 Speaker 4: bit of a cushion between the adhesion primer and the 1186 01:07:37,535 --> 01:07:40,135 Speaker 4: top coats. Right, But it will knock, you know, if 1187 01:07:40,135 --> 01:07:42,895 Speaker 4: it gets nice and stuff like that, it will chip 1188 01:07:43,175 --> 01:07:46,695 Speaker 4: and it will get damaged. So, I mean, while you know, 1189 01:07:46,735 --> 01:07:49,175 Speaker 4: it'll do the job, but you know, there are certain 1190 01:07:49,215 --> 01:07:50,495 Speaker 4: things that you have to expect. 1191 01:07:51,735 --> 01:07:54,455 Speaker 3: Actually, given that we've talked about painting over things that 1192 01:07:54,535 --> 01:07:57,695 Speaker 3: really aren't desired, I've got one further question, which is 1193 01:07:58,015 --> 01:08:05,095 Speaker 3: around let me see where I can find it. Yeah, 1194 01:08:05,255 --> 01:08:10,015 Speaker 3: some glazed tiles underneath a fire from the nineteen seventies 1195 01:08:10,015 --> 01:08:12,535 Speaker 3: that they just want to change the color of. Can 1196 01:08:12,575 --> 01:08:15,055 Speaker 3: I paint it? If so? Would the paint be hard 1197 01:08:15,135 --> 01:08:18,775 Speaker 3: enough to withstand a bit of occasional ash that might 1198 01:08:18,855 --> 01:08:22,015 Speaker 3: come out of the fireplace. That's from Matt, Yeah. 1199 01:08:22,535 --> 01:08:25,415 Speaker 4: I mean you could use I know that our new 1200 01:08:25,455 --> 01:08:29,535 Speaker 4: waterborne sure seal will stick to glaze tiles. It'll stick 1201 01:08:29,575 --> 01:08:34,135 Speaker 4: to glass, so you can use that. But again you've 1202 01:08:34,135 --> 01:08:35,855 Speaker 4: got to keep it clean. You've got to get all 1203 01:08:35,895 --> 01:08:38,175 Speaker 4: the dust and grome out of the areas of where 1204 01:08:38,175 --> 01:08:41,855 Speaker 4: they've put the grouse and all that sort of stuff, 1205 01:08:41,855 --> 01:08:43,855 Speaker 4: as there is such a thing, or if they could 1206 01:08:43,895 --> 01:08:48,455 Speaker 4: be just joined very closely together like one, but it's 1207 01:08:48,495 --> 01:08:52,855 Speaker 4: got to be clean waterborne shore seal. And then you 1208 01:08:53,015 --> 01:08:56,295 Speaker 4: might want to look at something like an enamel maybe 1209 01:08:56,535 --> 01:09:00,175 Speaker 4: just to stand up, say to a bit of heat. Yes, 1210 01:09:01,455 --> 01:09:04,295 Speaker 4: and you know, if anything ash drops on it, it 1211 01:09:04,375 --> 01:09:07,415 Speaker 4: will if you drop a red hot ember on it, 1212 01:09:07,455 --> 01:09:10,655 Speaker 4: for instance, nothing will stand up to that. It'll be sure, sure, 1213 01:09:10,815 --> 01:09:13,495 Speaker 4: you know, and you will get some some staining from 1214 01:09:14,455 --> 01:09:18,295 Speaker 4: you know, from the just the general stuff that happens 1215 01:09:18,335 --> 01:09:21,335 Speaker 4: to release a smoke and all that sort of stuff. 1216 01:09:21,375 --> 01:09:22,895 Speaker 4: So you've got to expect it. 1217 01:09:23,095 --> 01:09:25,095 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I guess there's sort of a general caution 1218 01:09:25,215 --> 01:09:26,175 Speaker 3: with these sorts of things. 1219 01:09:26,175 --> 01:09:26,335 Speaker 9: You know. 1220 01:09:26,375 --> 01:09:28,215 Speaker 3: It's like saying, oh, look, I've got a really ugly 1221 01:09:28,335 --> 01:09:30,535 Speaker 3: tiled splash back in the kitchen. I want to paint it, 1222 01:09:31,015 --> 01:09:34,735 Speaker 3: or melimine doors or tiles around the fireplace. You know, 1223 01:09:34,855 --> 01:09:37,375 Speaker 3: do it, but have a reasonable expectation that you may 1224 01:09:37,415 --> 01:09:39,495 Speaker 3: have to do it again, and it's not going to 1225 01:09:39,535 --> 01:09:41,895 Speaker 3: be as durable as if you'd use the product that 1226 01:09:41,975 --> 01:09:42,495 Speaker 3: was designed. 1227 01:09:42,575 --> 01:09:42,775 Speaker 9: You know. 1228 01:09:43,095 --> 01:09:45,375 Speaker 3: I mean in the end, we're painting something that's ideally 1229 01:09:45,415 --> 01:09:47,655 Speaker 3: not designed to be painted. But you can do it. 1230 01:09:47,775 --> 01:09:49,655 Speaker 3: You just have to be reasonable about the outcome. 1231 01:09:50,135 --> 01:09:53,415 Speaker 9: Yeah, just before I go, you go. 1232 01:09:54,335 --> 01:09:57,415 Speaker 4: Neglected to mention something before when we were talking about. 1233 01:09:58,655 --> 01:09:59,255 Speaker 8: Sugar soap. 1234 01:09:59,855 --> 01:10:03,455 Speaker 4: We have an opportunity of cleaner from the interior, you know, 1235 01:10:03,695 --> 01:10:07,415 Speaker 4: paint prep that it's a water worn product. You just 1236 01:10:07,495 --> 01:10:09,415 Speaker 4: mix that up, spread on the walls and use that 1237 01:10:09,535 --> 01:10:12,415 Speaker 4: to clean your walls and perhaps not high youth areas 1238 01:10:12,415 --> 01:10:14,575 Speaker 4: where there's greet or anything like that, but it will 1239 01:10:16,095 --> 01:10:19,575 Speaker 4: clean an interior corridor wall or a bedroom wall or 1240 01:10:19,575 --> 01:10:22,015 Speaker 4: in something like that quite happily. So that's another one 1241 01:10:22,015 --> 01:10:22,455 Speaker 4: to consider. 1242 01:10:22,695 --> 01:10:24,975 Speaker 3: Yeah, I used it in the bathroom ceiling last year. 1243 01:10:24,975 --> 01:10:28,975 Speaker 3: I'll tell you what it takes it off right now, Sorry, 1244 01:10:29,055 --> 01:10:32,335 Speaker 3: I'll grab you for one last question. The product you 1245 01:10:32,375 --> 01:10:34,015 Speaker 3: were talking about, the paint that will go of, but 1246 01:10:34,255 --> 01:10:35,255 Speaker 3: not what's that product. 1247 01:10:36,455 --> 01:10:41,895 Speaker 4: It's called Membrane Roofing Primate Perfect. Yeah, but it will 1248 01:10:41,895 --> 01:10:46,295 Speaker 4: only stick beautiful, so you have to make very very 1249 01:10:46,415 --> 01:10:51,135 Speaker 4: very sure that whatever you're putting that over is actually beautiful. Yes, yeah, 1250 01:10:51,415 --> 01:10:54,375 Speaker 4: a rubber memo if it's GPO, do not. 1251 01:10:54,575 --> 01:10:59,455 Speaker 3: Yep, absolutely yeah.

The suggestion that you just chop the inside 1262 01:11:32,415 --> 01:11:34,935 Speaker 3: ring out and then use it as a workpot, that's great, 1263 01:11:34,975 --> 01:11:37,135 Speaker 3: but then you can't use it as to store your 1264 01:11:37,135 --> 01:11:41,615 Speaker 3: painting anymore.

Oh eight hundred eighty ten eighty is the 1282 01:12:30,655 --> 01:12:33,375 Speaker 3: number to call. We have had a bit of conversation 1283 01:12:33,495 --> 01:12:38,455 Speaker 3: around cccs, and you know what happens if you're interested 1284 01:12:38,455 --> 01:12:41,855 Speaker 3: in the property that perhaps has a building consent that 1285 01:12:41,975 --> 01:12:45,335 Speaker 3: didn't get a CCC and what's involved. This text in 1286 01:12:45,415 --> 01:12:47,895 Speaker 3: from Dave Hi Pete. Could you just give us a 1287 01:12:47,975 --> 01:12:51,695 Speaker 3: quick list of the process required to achieve a certificate 1288 01:12:51,695 --> 01:12:55,215 Speaker 3: of approval. Now that's different, so a CoA or a 1289 01:12:55,215 --> 01:12:58,495 Speaker 3: certificate of approval where a CCC hasn't been obtained on 1290 01:12:58,535 --> 01:13:02,015 Speaker 3: a relatively new build. We've got a small outbuilding four 1291 01:13:02,015 --> 01:13:05,135 Speaker 3: by six I presume meters, which didn't need a consent 1292 01:13:05,215 --> 01:13:10,375 Speaker 3: because of its size. It must be quite new because 1293 01:13:10,375 --> 01:13:15,655 Speaker 3: that planning change didn't happen that long ago. So it's 1294 01:13:15,735 --> 01:13:19,255 Speaker 3: less than thirty square meters doesn't necessarily require a consent. 1295 01:13:19,335 --> 01:13:22,535 Speaker 3: So I pre assume that that's that extension of schedule 1296 01:13:22,575 --> 01:13:24,535 Speaker 3: one that has allowed that to be built. But we 1297 01:13:24,655 --> 01:13:28,095 Speaker 3: have subsequently put in a fireplace professional which will menan. 1298 01:13:28,295 --> 01:13:31,055 Speaker 3: It will now need some sort of council building approval. 1299 01:13:31,375 --> 01:13:33,455 Speaker 3: If I want to get a limb at any point, 1300 01:13:33,775 --> 01:13:35,375 Speaker 3: it's not that you want to get a limit, it's 1301 01:13:35,375 --> 01:13:38,535 Speaker 3: just a limb will be created at any point in 1302 01:13:38,535 --> 01:13:41,055 Speaker 3: the future. I assume having images and certificates for the 1303 01:13:41,135 --> 01:13:44,415 Speaker 3: as built work would be helpful, but roughly what else 1304 01:13:44,535 --> 01:13:49,375 Speaker 3: is required? The challenge, well, a couple of challenges there. 1305 01:13:49,415 --> 01:13:54,255 Speaker 3: One is that installing a fireplace does require a consent, 1306 01:13:54,575 --> 01:13:57,775 Speaker 3: but it only requires a consent for the installation of 1307 01:13:57,815 --> 01:14:02,295 Speaker 3: the fireplace, right, So I think that in this instance 1308 01:14:02,375 --> 01:14:05,055 Speaker 3: you can build the building less than thirty square meters 1309 01:14:05,095 --> 01:14:07,375 Speaker 3: if it's in the right place, except et cetera, without 1310 01:14:07,415 --> 01:14:11,135 Speaker 3: needing a building consent, but the addition of the fireplace 1311 01:14:11,335 --> 01:14:14,695 Speaker 3: does need a building consent. The fact that the fireplace 1312 01:14:14,735 --> 01:14:18,415 Speaker 3: has been installed but you didn't apply for a building 1313 01:14:18,455 --> 01:14:20,855 Speaker 3: consent means that you'll need to go for a certificate 1314 01:14:20,895 --> 01:14:26,335 Speaker 3: of acceptance. What's happened with certificates of acceptance, which used 1315 01:14:26,335 --> 01:14:29,255 Speaker 3: to be the old Safe and Sanitary report is council 1316 01:14:29,335 --> 01:14:32,615 Speaker 3: typically now have set this standard at the same as 1317 01:14:32,655 --> 01:14:35,815 Speaker 3: if you were applying for a building consent, roughly, so, 1318 01:14:36,775 --> 01:14:40,455 Speaker 3: it will need some drawings, it will need the appropriate documentation, 1319 01:14:41,255 --> 01:14:45,535 Speaker 3: it'll need an inspection, possibly by counsel, and then they 1320 01:14:45,575 --> 01:14:49,335 Speaker 3: will issue you a CoA for that. In this instance, Dave, 1321 01:14:49,535 --> 01:14:54,135 Speaker 3: you're only asking for a CoA for the fireplace, nothing else. 1322 01:14:55,495 --> 01:14:57,935 Speaker 3: This is something that's important as well, is that when 1323 01:14:58,255 --> 01:15:03,855 Speaker 3: dealing with a consent that doesn't have a CCC, any 1324 01:15:03,895 --> 01:15:06,535 Speaker 3: inspection should only deal with what was on the concent 1325 01:15:07,095 --> 01:15:10,575 Speaker 3: Other stuff that wasn't part of the consent shouldn't then 1326 01:15:10,775 --> 01:15:13,175 Speaker 3: get drawn into this right, So you've got to ring 1327 01:15:13,295 --> 01:15:16,615 Speaker 3: fence the scope of the work by making sure that 1328 01:15:16,655 --> 01:15:19,495 Speaker 3: the inspector focuses only on the work that's part of 1329 01:15:19,535 --> 01:15:22,455 Speaker 3: the building consent and not get distracted by other stuff. 1330 01:15:24,215 --> 01:15:27,135 Speaker 3: So I think for you, Dave, you're probably going to 1331 01:15:27,215 --> 01:15:33,135 Speaker 3: need to provide drawings, documentation, warranty certificate, produce a statement 1332 01:15:33,135 --> 01:15:35,775 Speaker 3: from the installer and then take that along and that 1333 01:15:35,815 --> 01:15:39,775 Speaker 3: should be sufficient for a CoA or a certificate of acceptance. 1334 01:15:41,055 --> 01:15:46,015 Speaker 3: Hopefully that works out well for you. But and I 1335 01:15:46,055 --> 01:15:47,775 Speaker 3: don't want to be the sort of I told you so, 1336 01:15:48,055 --> 01:15:51,935 Speaker 3: but even the person installing the fireplace, if they are 1337 01:15:52,015 --> 01:15:55,375 Speaker 3: a professional, they should have known that you needed to 1338 01:15:55,415 --> 01:15:58,935 Speaker 3: apply for a consent before doing the work. Council get 1339 01:15:59,375 --> 01:16:02,095 Speaker 3: mightily upset with people that turn it around, turn up 1340 01:16:02,095 --> 01:16:04,815 Speaker 3: and go oh ah, sorry, I forgot to get one 1341 01:16:04,815 --> 01:16:06,975 Speaker 3: of those what do you call them building consent things. 1342 01:16:07,015 --> 01:16:09,495 Speaker 3: Didn't think it was really that important, thought I could 1343 01:16:09,495 --> 01:16:11,695 Speaker 3: get away without doing it. Can you give me one now, please? 1344 01:16:12,335 --> 01:16:15,335 Speaker 3: And they kind of go no. And that's why they've 1345 01:16:15,335 --> 01:16:17,615 Speaker 3: also increased the burden of proof because people are doing 1346 01:16:17,615 --> 01:16:20,255 Speaker 3: this all the time, doing building work that they knew 1347 01:16:20,495 --> 01:16:24,175 Speaker 3: require a building consent, just couldn't be bothered go ahead 1348 01:16:24,175 --> 01:16:25,735 Speaker 3: and do it, and then ring counsel up and go, 1349 01:16:25,735 --> 01:16:27,055 Speaker 3: oh hey, look, can you just give us one of 1350 01:16:27,095 --> 01:16:30,575 Speaker 3: those coas please? No, they won't anymore. Oh eight hundred 1351 01:16:30,655 --> 01:16:33,935 Speaker 3: eighty ten eighty is the number to call, Steve.

And you see this all 1356 01:16:52,095 --> 01:16:56,575 Speaker 6: the time, people expecting that you can just get it, 1357 01:16:56,575 --> 01:17:01,215 Speaker 6: get a croat out acceptance, but it's not the case. 1358 01:17:01,375 --> 01:17:03,455 Speaker 6: That it's a lot harder, a lot more hoop to 1359 01:17:03,535 --> 01:17:04,295 Speaker 6: jump through. 1360 01:17:05,095 --> 01:17:09,055 Speaker 3: And you can kind of I got a whole bunch 1361 01:17:09,095 --> 01:17:13,695 Speaker 3: of quite challenging texts a little while ago, which I'm 1362 01:17:13,695 --> 01:17:16,295 Speaker 3: happy with, right, I'm more than happy to be challenged 1363 01:17:16,695 --> 01:17:19,335 Speaker 3: on my opinions and statements. And it was all along 1364 01:17:19,375 --> 01:17:23,335 Speaker 3: the lines of, you know, stop constantly defending counsel and 1365 01:17:23,415 --> 01:17:27,775 Speaker 3: encouraging bureaucracy and that sort of thing. And so generally 1366 01:17:28,135 --> 01:17:29,975 Speaker 3: I don't know that I do, but at the same 1367 01:17:30,015 --> 01:17:32,295 Speaker 3: time I understand that the rules are there for a reason, right, 1368 01:17:32,575 --> 01:17:34,735 Speaker 3: And I think what was happening, and this is probably 1369 01:17:34,815 --> 01:17:37,375 Speaker 3: ten to fifteen years ago is that people were going, look, 1370 01:17:37,415 --> 01:17:39,295 Speaker 3: I kind of know that I need a building consent, 1371 01:17:39,335 --> 01:17:41,855 Speaker 3: but I kind of can't be bothered, so I'm just 1372 01:17:41,855 --> 01:17:43,215 Speaker 3: going to go ahead and do the work. Then I 1373 01:17:43,335 --> 01:17:45,535 Speaker 3: bring up counsel and go, oh, sorry, silly me, I 1374 01:17:45,615 --> 01:17:47,775 Speaker 3: forgot to get a consent.

Look, people are so tempted, aren't they, by 1379 01:18:00,735 --> 01:18:04,135 Speaker 6: the by just saving money? Isn't it about thinking they 1380 01:18:04,335 --> 01:18:07,375 Speaker 6: justify themselves that they at the beginning to pay a 1381 01:18:07,375 --> 01:18:10,775 Speaker 6: few thousand dollars Yet we don't know, and it kind 1382 01:18:10,775 --> 01:18:14,615 Speaker 6: of they do. The guy saved my my neighbor from 1383 01:18:14,855 --> 01:18:16,975 Speaker 6: a pretty ugly situation that could that could have been 1384 01:18:17,055 --> 01:18:19,735 Speaker 6: later for him when he went and got his all 1385 01:18:19,815 --> 01:18:24,775 Speaker 6: his windows replaced. Lightful like, didn't need didn't need a 1386 01:18:24,815 --> 01:18:25,535 Speaker 6: building consent. 1387 01:18:27,575 --> 01:18:27,775 Speaker 8: Yep. 1388 01:18:27,935 --> 01:18:30,375 Speaker 6: And what happened is as I came home every day, 1389 01:18:30,375 --> 01:18:33,095 Speaker 6: I watched these guys who are replacing the windows put 1390 01:18:33,095 --> 01:18:36,255 Speaker 6: the head, put the flashing them and they were basically 1391 01:18:36,415 --> 01:18:41,935 Speaker 6: just chasing the weatherboard, not tucking them up and of 1392 01:18:41,975 --> 01:18:44,735 Speaker 6: course I told me. I told my neighbor, look, look, 1393 01:18:44,815 --> 01:18:48,775 Speaker 6: look what's happening here.

They were 1396 01:18:54,655 --> 01:18:57,975 Speaker 6: unaware of it because these guys were external contractors. 1397 01:18:58,535 --> 01:18:59,815 Speaker 11: And look, a lot of. 1398 01:18:59,815 --> 01:19:02,095 Speaker 6: People think that these guys who throw these windows and 1399 01:19:02,335 --> 01:19:04,855 Speaker 6: are like builders. You know, this is the misconception that 1400 01:19:04,935 --> 01:19:07,295 Speaker 6: you get in the industry. They must be builders because 1401 01:19:07,295 --> 01:19:09,335 Speaker 6: they're putting windows and they're not a lot of the 1402 01:19:09,375 --> 01:19:12,375 Speaker 6: time they've just they might be handy man, or they 1403 01:19:12,415 --> 01:19:14,135 Speaker 6: might have just picked up a hammer. Over the last 1404 01:19:14,175 --> 01:19:16,615 Speaker 6: six months, they've been quickly trained to throw windows in. 1405 01:19:16,775 --> 01:19:18,535 Speaker 3: That's right. They've given a you know, they've got a 1406 01:19:18,615 --> 01:19:21,255 Speaker 3: very specific task to do, which they can do competently, 1407 01:19:21,375 --> 01:19:23,935 Speaker 3: but it doesn't then make them aware of all of 1408 01:19:23,975 --> 01:19:27,975 Speaker 3: the other legislation and restrictions around it.

Eight hundred eighty ten eighty. 1462 01:22:29,215 --> 01:22:31,735 Speaker 3: That number to call I mentioned just prior to the 1463 01:22:31,775 --> 01:22:34,975 Speaker 3: news because I mean, we do for very good reason, 1464 01:22:35,055 --> 01:22:37,375 Speaker 3: spend a bit of time on the show talking about 1465 01:22:37,855 --> 01:22:43,695 Speaker 3: I guess, not practical things as in we talk about legislation. 1466 01:22:44,175 --> 01:22:46,455 Speaker 3: I know it's practical, but it's it kind of there's 1467 01:22:46,535 --> 01:22:50,815 Speaker 3: the doing and then there's the thinking about doing, and 1468 01:22:51,615 --> 01:22:54,855 Speaker 3: the thinking bit is the legislation. The regulations and these 1469 01:22:54,895 --> 01:22:57,975 Speaker 3: things govern what you can and cannot do in terms 1470 01:22:58,015 --> 01:23:02,655 Speaker 3: of construction at home. Schedule one, it's the Building Act, 1471 01:23:02,695 --> 01:23:05,655 Speaker 3: it's other pieces of legislation. They all have an impact. 1472 01:23:06,695 --> 01:23:10,135 Speaker 3: So one of the little projects that we have been 1473 01:23:10,175 --> 01:23:12,895 Speaker 3: working on over the last couple of months as a series, 1474 01:23:12,975 --> 01:23:17,015 Speaker 3: so it's on YouTube now called I've Been Thinking, which 1475 01:23:17,055 --> 01:23:20,175 Speaker 3: is essentially me thinking about a lot of things that 1476 01:23:20,295 --> 01:23:24,415 Speaker 3: impact building and construction and offering up hopefully some succinct, 1477 01:23:24,815 --> 01:23:28,975 Speaker 3: useful factual advice around like shed you one of the 1478 01:23:28,975 --> 01:23:32,655 Speaker 3: building act or minor variations, or why sticking to a 1479 01:23:32,655 --> 01:23:35,775 Speaker 3: building consent is really important. There's some practical stuff in there. 1480 01:23:35,815 --> 01:23:38,415 Speaker 3: We talk a little bit about painting, we talk about insulation, 1481 01:23:38,495 --> 01:23:40,895 Speaker 3: we talk about how double glazing works. So if you've 1482 01:23:40,935 --> 01:23:43,495 Speaker 3: ever wondered how it works and why it works and 1483 01:23:43,575 --> 01:23:47,975 Speaker 3: can you prove that it works? Yes, so we've done 1484 01:23:47,975 --> 01:23:50,175 Speaker 3: some real science on that as well. So check it out. 1485 01:23:50,175 --> 01:23:53,015 Speaker 3: If you just go to YouTube search for resident build 1486 01:23:53,055 --> 01:23:55,095 Speaker 3: a Peter wolf Camp or search for I've been thinking, 1487 01:23:55,495 --> 01:23:58,335 Speaker 3: you'll find a whole bunch of videos there for your 1488 01:23:59,255 --> 01:24:02,935 Speaker 3: hopefully education and entertainment because we're all into the old 1489 01:24:02,935 --> 01:24:06,855 Speaker 3: scrolling on social so check it out online. I've been 1490 01:24:06,895 --> 01:24:10,335 Speaker 3: thinking by just me peak wolf Camp, resident Builder, you'll 1491 01:24:10,335 --> 01:24:12,455 Speaker 3: find a whole lot of information there that'll be useful. 1492 01:24:12,495 --> 01:24:15,295 Speaker 3: And then as we build that library, I'm sort of 1493 01:24:15,295 --> 01:24:18,495 Speaker 3: taking suggestions for things that we should be talking about 1494 01:24:18,535 --> 01:24:20,615 Speaker 3: like we do on the show as well. Oh eight 1495 01:24:20,655 --> 01:24:22,855 Speaker 3: hundred and eighty ten eighty is the number to call. 1496 01:24:23,975 --> 01:24:26,695 Speaker 3: And oh, now, just before the news, someone said, what's 1497 01:24:26,735 --> 01:24:28,655 Speaker 3: that stuff that he was talking about with regard to 1498 01:24:28,655 --> 01:24:32,495 Speaker 3: the rust. Oxalic acid. How you spell that is o 1499 01:24:33,215 --> 01:24:39,775 Speaker 3: x a lic so oxalic o x a lic acid 1500 01:24:40,495 --> 01:24:45,335 Speaker 3: you can also buy. I've noticed like water stain remover 1501 01:24:45,695 --> 01:24:48,735 Speaker 3: in hardware stores as well, which is like oxalic acid. 1502 01:24:48,815 --> 01:24:52,655 Speaker 3: And then the product that Bryce was talking about is CLR, 1503 01:24:52,695 --> 01:24:54,615 Speaker 3: which has been around for a long time. To be fair, 1504 01:24:54,655 --> 01:24:56,295 Speaker 3: I didn't know you could use it to sort of 1505 01:24:56,295 --> 01:24:58,295 Speaker 3: get rid of rust stains in that. I've got a 1506 01:24:58,295 --> 01:25:01,055 Speaker 3: little job for that later on this week as well. Sarah, 1507 01:25:01,095 --> 01:25:02,255 Speaker 3: A very good morning to you. 1508 01:25:03,335 --> 01:25:05,655 Speaker 12: Good morning Peak, can you goody. 1509 01:25:05,415 --> 01:25:06,095 Speaker 3: Good thank you? 1510 01:25:05,935 --> 01:25:08,295 Speaker 12: And else good good, good thing. 1511 01:25:08,455 --> 01:25:09,135 Speaker 3: How can I help? 1512 01:25:10,295 --> 01:25:15,055 Speaker 12: Well, we're looking to buy a house and there's a 1513 01:25:15,095 --> 01:25:18,215 Speaker 12: number of issues. There's they're often with older houses. It's 1514 01:25:18,215 --> 01:25:23,975 Speaker 12: a nineteen fifties house. It's unusual in the fact, it's 1515 01:25:24,015 --> 01:25:27,855 Speaker 12: not unusual that it's got stucco on the outside in 1516 01:25:27,975 --> 01:25:32,935 Speaker 12: a sort of star coe ceiling. What is unusual. It's 1517 01:25:33,055 --> 01:25:38,215 Speaker 12: also got that star coe on the internal walls of 1518 01:25:38,455 --> 01:25:42,695 Speaker 12: some of the rooms, like the loud and I'm thinking 1519 01:25:42,815 --> 01:25:46,135 Speaker 12: what can we do with that? We can't get a 1520 01:25:46,135 --> 01:25:49,415 Speaker 12: builder for lifele money, holidays and fair enough, you guys 1521 01:25:49,415 --> 01:25:53,095 Speaker 12: need a break. But we're trying to decide what that's 1522 01:25:53,135 --> 01:25:57,335 Speaker 12: going to cost to jub over or remove. There might 1523 01:25:57,415 --> 01:26:04,295 Speaker 12: be asbestos also, So that's just one issue. The other 1524 01:26:04,455 --> 01:26:10,895 Speaker 12: issue is they've got that the house apparently used to 1525 01:26:10,935 --> 01:26:14,895 Speaker 12: have a double garage at the roadside. What they've done 1526 01:26:15,015 --> 01:26:20,135 Speaker 12: is they've converted that garage into a studio, no bathroom, 1527 01:26:20,175 --> 01:26:23,575 Speaker 12: but just a studio, and then they've built on the 1528 01:26:23,615 --> 01:26:29,575 Speaker 12: whole length of the house and they've put the garage 1529 01:26:29,895 --> 01:26:34,375 Speaker 12: at the other end right. But all this is done 1530 01:26:34,455 --> 01:26:39,895 Speaker 12: without permits. But someone said to me they either have 1531 01:26:40,055 --> 01:26:44,815 Speaker 12: to pull it down or ask for a code of acceptance. 1532 01:26:44,935 --> 01:26:48,375 Speaker 12: But they've straightaway that. The real estate agent said no, 1533 01:26:48,455 --> 01:26:50,415 Speaker 12: they're not prepared to do that. They'll pull it down, 1534 01:26:50,495 --> 01:26:55,055 Speaker 12: but they won't get a CoA. I've measured it. It's 1535 01:26:55,255 --> 01:27:00,095 Speaker 12: one point seven meters between the corner of that new 1536 01:27:00,175 --> 01:27:05,175 Speaker 12: garage part in their new fence because they've subdivided the 1537 01:27:05,375 --> 01:27:09,855 Speaker 12: section so they're now building on the other side. So 1538 01:27:10,095 --> 01:27:12,615 Speaker 12: and then the rest of it, it's like a triangle shape. 1539 01:27:12,655 --> 01:27:15,415 Speaker 12: So it gets wider and wider is it goes back 1540 01:27:15,455 --> 01:27:20,175 Speaker 12: towards the road where the original driveway was. The problem 1541 01:27:20,255 --> 01:27:22,895 Speaker 12: is there should probably appreciate. There's no plans on file. 1542 01:27:23,095 --> 01:27:26,095 Speaker 12: Nobody can prove it was ever there. They have found 1543 01:27:26,375 --> 01:27:32,735 Speaker 12: a photo showing the original garage, so we can prove 1544 01:27:32,815 --> 01:27:36,175 Speaker 12: that it was always but yet not a great one 1545 01:27:36,335 --> 01:27:39,375 Speaker 12: that there was a garage. We can't prove that it 1546 01:27:39,415 --> 01:27:42,855 Speaker 12: was ever permitted. I guess one of my questions there is, 1547 01:27:44,095 --> 01:27:47,655 Speaker 12: are we therefore able to rebuild that garage like for 1548 01:27:47,815 --> 01:27:50,175 Speaker 12: light because it was there without a permit? 1549 01:27:52,175 --> 01:27:53,215 Speaker 3: Oh, very good question. 1550 01:28:01,615 --> 01:28:03,775 Speaker 12: And they've filed up the road as well. They've put 1551 01:28:03,855 --> 01:28:06,855 Speaker 12: the fence and behind it now so you would never 1552 01:28:06,935 --> 01:28:09,575 Speaker 12: know there was ever a driveway entrance there apart from 1553 01:28:09,615 --> 01:28:15,255 Speaker 12: this photo, this aerial shot from you know, thirty odd 1554 01:28:15,335 --> 01:28:15,695 Speaker 12: years ago. 1555 01:28:15,895 --> 01:28:17,495 Speaker 11: Whenever that goes. 1556 01:28:17,455 --> 01:28:20,255 Speaker 3: Is the intention though of the garage, it's no longer 1557 01:28:20,295 --> 01:28:22,095 Speaker 3: going to be a garage, it's going to be a 1558 01:28:22,135 --> 01:28:23,015 Speaker 3: habitable space. 1559 01:28:24,495 --> 01:28:27,575 Speaker 12: Well, I think what they've done is they're trying to 1560 01:28:27,575 --> 01:28:29,295 Speaker 12: get the best of both worlds. We just want to 1561 01:28:29,335 --> 01:28:30,055 Speaker 12: get a garage back. 1562 01:28:30,695 --> 01:28:34,095 Speaker 3: You need a garage, absolutely, and that's. 1563 01:28:33,935 --> 01:28:34,575 Speaker 11: What we want. 1564 01:28:34,695 --> 01:28:37,855 Speaker 12: But we see it as quite a usable room at 1565 01:28:37,935 --> 01:28:40,295 Speaker 12: the moment because obviously it's an end on the end, 1566 01:28:40,375 --> 01:28:42,895 Speaker 12: it's a huge, big space and they've got the car, 1567 01:28:43,095 --> 01:28:46,295 Speaker 12: they've got the bikes, they've got you know, the wreck 1568 01:28:46,415 --> 01:28:49,935 Speaker 12: room for the teenage kids in a little old studio 1569 01:28:49,975 --> 01:28:52,495 Speaker 12: at the back that you can pot around in this workshop. 1570 01:28:52,615 --> 01:28:59,415 Speaker 12: But it's not clearly consented because they've adapted that and 1571 01:29:00,175 --> 01:29:03,575 Speaker 12: they've said no, and we don't want to purchase the 1572 01:29:03,575 --> 01:29:07,655 Speaker 12: property and then have massive problems with counts because we 1573 01:29:07,695 --> 01:29:10,735 Speaker 12: can't prove there was never a garage the air and 1574 01:29:10,775 --> 01:29:13,575 Speaker 12: there's you know, there's no apart from this photo that 1575 01:29:13,695 --> 01:29:19,935 Speaker 12: does show the original garage there. We were just wonder 1576 01:29:19,935 --> 01:29:21,495 Speaker 12: if it's going to get end up in the two 1577 01:29:21,535 --> 01:29:24,815 Speaker 12: hard basket because it would affect our offer. And then 1578 01:29:25,135 --> 01:29:28,335 Speaker 12: the thing of the staco. Do we just simply jib 1579 01:29:28,375 --> 01:29:32,575 Speaker 12: over there? Obviously we'd have to get it tested for asbestos. 1580 01:29:32,615 --> 01:29:35,335 Speaker 12: That we're not so concerned about that. I guess it's 1581 01:29:36,255 --> 01:29:38,135 Speaker 12: how much over all this is going to cost. 1582 01:29:38,735 --> 01:29:41,695 Speaker 3: And look, i'd be really it'd be foolish of me 1583 01:29:41,815 --> 01:29:43,815 Speaker 3: to offer up a price on that sort of thing 1584 01:29:43,935 --> 01:29:47,295 Speaker 3: because without seeing it fair enough. At the same time, 1585 01:29:47,375 --> 01:29:51,375 Speaker 3: I mean, look, if they've got stucco on the walls 1586 01:29:51,495 --> 01:29:57,735 Speaker 3: and you know, you can like obviously you want to 1587 01:29:57,775 --> 01:29:59,415 Speaker 3: get you. 1588 01:29:59,375 --> 01:30:01,695 Speaker 12: Can reason why we would get it tested. 1589 01:30:01,815 --> 01:30:08,735 Speaker 3: You just pull off the yeah, and encapsulating asbestos is 1590 01:30:08,775 --> 01:30:13,175 Speaker 3: a kind of a prescribed way of dealing with the potential, 1591 01:30:13,255 --> 01:30:15,295 Speaker 3: right you know. 1592 01:30:15,695 --> 01:30:19,095 Speaker 12: Sure, so just a big lounge area that's got those 1593 01:30:19,135 --> 01:30:22,335 Speaker 12: internal walls. The rest of the walls appear to be 1594 01:30:22,415 --> 01:30:24,375 Speaker 12: jim ye okay. 1595 01:30:25,295 --> 01:30:28,735 Speaker 3: And in terms of like the unconsented work, I mean, 1596 01:30:28,735 --> 01:30:32,695 Speaker 3: there must be literally thousands of properties around the country 1597 01:30:32,735 --> 01:30:34,495 Speaker 3: that have unconsented work, right. 1598 01:30:34,455 --> 01:30:38,855 Speaker 12: For sure, But we're concerned about Peters because they're building 1599 01:30:38,935 --> 01:30:41,935 Speaker 12: next door. Council are going to be next door doing 1600 01:30:42,095 --> 01:30:45,535 Speaker 12: all there that and pieces as they go by, and 1601 01:30:45,535 --> 01:30:47,215 Speaker 12: they're going to see it. So it's not like it 1602 01:30:47,255 --> 01:30:50,295 Speaker 12: can go under the radar, to be fair, and we 1603 01:30:50,535 --> 01:30:52,815 Speaker 12: don't want it to be going under the radar. We 1604 01:30:52,895 --> 01:30:53,535 Speaker 12: want to get it. 1605 01:30:54,655 --> 01:30:57,695 Speaker 3: I think unless the work is you know, potentially really 1606 01:30:57,735 --> 01:31:01,215 Speaker 3: really unsafe or something like that. Council, to the best 1607 01:31:01,255 --> 01:31:03,535 Speaker 3: of my knowledge, are not in the habit of wandering 1608 01:31:03,575 --> 01:31:08,295 Speaker 3: down the street comparing old photographs and old consents with 1609 01:31:08,295 --> 01:31:11,655 Speaker 3: what they see today, right, you know, every now and 1610 01:31:11,695 --> 01:31:14,415 Speaker 3: then you hear about council entering a property and issuing 1611 01:31:14,415 --> 01:31:18,575 Speaker 3: an unsafe building notice or something like that, but that 1612 01:31:18,775 --> 01:31:20,775 Speaker 3: the last one that I can recall was a gentleman 1613 01:31:20,815 --> 01:31:23,335 Speaker 3: who decided to build a three story tower out of 1614 01:31:23,375 --> 01:31:29,015 Speaker 3: palettes and plywood in his backyard. You know, now there 1615 01:31:29,095 --> 01:31:31,135 Speaker 3: was there's a lot of other issues going on there. 1616 01:31:31,975 --> 01:31:35,335 Speaker 3: It's not like someone who's added a lean to an 1617 01:31:35,415 --> 01:31:38,215 Speaker 3: existing garage and using that as a workshop or a 1618 01:31:38,255 --> 01:31:44,255 Speaker 3: storage space. I guess the other way of looking at 1619 01:31:44,255 --> 01:31:48,975 Speaker 3: that is there is nothing to stop you purchasing the property, 1620 01:31:49,215 --> 01:31:52,855 Speaker 3: being fully aware of the risks involved in it, and 1621 01:31:53,015 --> 01:31:56,055 Speaker 3: accepting the fact that when you go to sell, as 1622 01:31:56,095 --> 01:32:00,015 Speaker 3: we all inevitably do, someone's going to ask exactly the 1623 01:32:00,015 --> 01:32:03,255 Speaker 3: same questions you're asking today of you. And then you've 1624 01:32:03,295 --> 01:32:05,455 Speaker 3: got to go, what am I? What am I going 1625 01:32:05,495 --> 01:32:06,695 Speaker 3: to say? 1626 01:32:06,855 --> 01:32:07,055 Speaker 6: You know? 1627 01:32:07,055 --> 01:32:09,775 Speaker 3: How am I going to We don't. 1628 01:32:09,615 --> 01:32:11,975 Speaker 12: Mind pulling it down and putting the proper garage bet 1629 01:32:12,055 --> 01:32:14,215 Speaker 12: at the front. I guess we're what we're wanting to 1630 01:32:14,255 --> 01:32:17,455 Speaker 12: know is can we just do that because there was 1631 01:32:17,495 --> 01:32:20,255 Speaker 12: a garage there and we're just putting it bat like 1632 01:32:20,335 --> 01:32:22,415 Speaker 12: for like, so therefore we don't need a permit to 1633 01:32:22,455 --> 01:32:24,735 Speaker 12: do that, and we pull down the rest of the structure. 1634 01:32:26,775 --> 01:32:30,535 Speaker 3: I think you'd be pushing it because you know, well 1635 01:32:30,575 --> 01:32:33,015 Speaker 3: only in the sense that like you could do, you 1636 01:32:33,055 --> 01:32:35,535 Speaker 3: could call it repairs and maintenance. I'm going to take 1637 01:32:35,535 --> 01:32:37,335 Speaker 3: off some weather boards, I'm going to take off some 1638 01:32:37,415 --> 01:32:39,375 Speaker 3: out some studs, I'm going to replace some studs. I'm 1639 01:32:39,375 --> 01:32:41,095 Speaker 3: going to replace the weather board. And then it becomes 1640 01:32:41,135 --> 01:32:43,535 Speaker 3: like Granddad's ax. Right, it's had three heads and four 1641 01:32:44,255 --> 01:32:48,775 Speaker 3: for handles? Is it still Granddad's as kind of? But 1642 01:32:48,815 --> 01:32:53,575 Speaker 3: not quite? I mean, do you actually again many other things? 1643 01:32:53,935 --> 01:32:55,495 Speaker 3: Do you need to pull it down? Can you just 1644 01:32:55,575 --> 01:32:56,775 Speaker 3: repair the garage and make it so? 1645 01:32:56,855 --> 01:33:00,255 Speaker 12: I don't know, we don't. But the property is already 1646 01:33:00,375 --> 01:33:06,655 Speaker 12: under scrutiny because they've got a you're going to laugh 1647 01:33:06,695 --> 01:33:11,695 Speaker 12: at this, they've got a car port. But that car 1648 01:33:11,775 --> 01:33:14,375 Speaker 12: port is half on the. 1649 01:33:15,175 --> 01:33:15,815 Speaker 4: What do you call it? 1650 01:33:15,855 --> 01:33:21,975 Speaker 12: The boom and although yeah, although it's I know, but 1651 01:33:22,855 --> 01:33:26,855 Speaker 12: it's right up the back in a rural dead end 1652 01:33:27,095 --> 01:33:30,495 Speaker 12: street and you can't go any further. And the council 1653 01:33:30,575 --> 01:33:32,695 Speaker 12: have never looked after the front part. And they've got 1654 01:33:32,695 --> 01:33:36,335 Speaker 12: all trees, trees, all sorts of things there and it's 1655 01:33:36,935 --> 01:33:39,895 Speaker 12: all nice and private. But the council have now decided, 1656 01:33:39,975 --> 01:33:43,375 Speaker 12: bless them, They've issued them a notice and they said, 1657 01:33:43,375 --> 01:33:46,575 Speaker 12: you could either take that down or you can pay 1658 01:33:46,935 --> 01:33:48,935 Speaker 12: a couple of thousand dollars. I think it is peaked 1659 01:33:48,975 --> 01:33:51,695 Speaker 12: to get a conceit. We'll consider if will allow you 1660 01:33:52,175 --> 01:33:56,215 Speaker 12: to keep it, and then we'll charge you potentially under 1661 01:33:56,215 --> 01:34:00,455 Speaker 12: one thousand dollars a year to rent it off us 1662 01:34:00,775 --> 01:34:03,215 Speaker 12: rent it back, which is not the end of the world. 1663 01:34:03,575 --> 01:34:06,535 Speaker 12: But because it's already under the radar, we thought, well, 1664 01:34:07,815 --> 01:34:09,815 Speaker 12: this is the other side of the property. Does that 1665 01:34:09,855 --> 01:34:14,015 Speaker 12: put the other and how much money we talking? Because 1666 01:34:14,335 --> 01:34:17,135 Speaker 12: you know, to do all these things, it's a bit 1667 01:34:17,175 --> 01:34:19,535 Speaker 12: of an open isn't it. 1668 01:34:19,975 --> 01:34:21,175 Speaker 3: A lot of this is going to come to. 1669 01:34:21,975 --> 01:34:23,815 Speaker 12: I mean they only use it. They only use it 1670 01:34:23,855 --> 01:34:25,975 Speaker 12: to chop their wood under it for the log fire. 1671 01:34:26,055 --> 01:34:29,255 Speaker 12: But look, it's not unsightly. Even the neighbors. You can 1672 01:34:29,295 --> 01:34:34,695 Speaker 12: see right down the street. They're all over the However, 1673 01:34:34,775 --> 01:34:36,935 Speaker 12: the other neighbors don't have a structure on it, so 1674 01:34:37,015 --> 01:34:39,695 Speaker 12: it's it doesn't they've turned a blind eye to there 1675 01:34:39,775 --> 01:34:42,775 Speaker 12: because there's nothing there but here they've got. 1676 01:34:42,935 --> 01:34:45,575 Speaker 3: Kind of comes down to what your risk profile is, right, 1677 01:34:45,935 --> 01:34:48,455 Speaker 3: So you know, if you are prepared to take the 1678 01:34:48,535 --> 01:34:52,815 Speaker 3: risk and you're prepared to accept that you might be 1679 01:34:52,855 --> 01:34:55,135 Speaker 3: in a position were you and have to spend some money. 1680 01:34:55,375 --> 01:34:58,015 Speaker 3: There's lots of mites and it just comes down to risk. 1681 01:34:58,215 --> 01:35:00,655 Speaker 3: I mean, in the end, you can buy whatever you want, right. 1682 01:35:02,055 --> 01:35:04,535 Speaker 12: For sure. And I guess we could go through the 1683 01:35:04,575 --> 01:35:07,175 Speaker 12: permit process and put a double ariage somewhere else on 1684 01:35:07,255 --> 01:35:09,335 Speaker 12: the property. I don't know what you I don't know. 1685 01:35:09,335 --> 01:35:11,975 Speaker 12: I don't know what you're paying for a double garage 1686 01:35:11,975 --> 01:35:12,575 Speaker 12: these days. 1687 01:35:14,255 --> 01:35:17,975 Speaker 3: That one could be that more. Yeah, but yeah, sure, 1688 01:35:19,255 --> 01:35:21,175 Speaker 3: a couple of interesting texts that are coming through in 1689 01:35:21,215 --> 01:35:23,135 Speaker 3: terms of you know, the garage should show on the limb, 1690 01:35:23,215 --> 01:35:26,055 Speaker 3: I'm not so sure. I mean, limbs don't typically tell 1691 01:35:26,135 --> 01:35:30,975 Speaker 3: you the property, and then it won't matter about the 1692 01:35:31,055 --> 01:35:34,135 Speaker 3: unconsented work as long as it's not showing on the limb. 1693 01:35:34,255 --> 01:35:36,415 Speaker 3: And then and the other thing is then you know, 1694 01:35:36,615 --> 01:35:39,615 Speaker 3: sometimes with getting finance it can be tricky if there's 1695 01:35:39,695 --> 01:35:41,135 Speaker 3: there's fish in the contract. 1696 01:35:41,135 --> 01:35:44,495 Speaker 12: We've got no problems with getting the finance. I'm more 1697 01:35:44,495 --> 01:35:48,415 Speaker 12: concerned about the insurance aspect of it. We've got something 1698 01:35:48,495 --> 01:35:51,735 Speaker 12: that's deemed illegal and let's say there was a fire 1699 01:35:52,255 --> 01:35:57,855 Speaker 12: or yeah, you know what a playing for ye, I realize. 1700 01:35:57,375 --> 01:36:00,375 Speaker 3: It, you know, risk profile that's really. 1701 01:36:00,175 --> 01:36:03,895 Speaker 12: The reason why we thought it might just be saved 1702 01:36:03,895 --> 01:36:06,335 Speaker 12: to pull it down. But we thought we made the 1703 01:36:06,375 --> 01:36:10,295 Speaker 12: title to rebuild the original garage. It's not on the plans, 1704 01:36:10,335 --> 01:36:14,335 Speaker 12: but the photo definitely shows there was a garage. 1705 01:36:14,375 --> 01:36:16,975 Speaker 3: The other thing and whether or not you can do 1706 01:36:17,015 --> 01:36:19,975 Speaker 3: this in the time that you have to as part 1707 01:36:20,015 --> 01:36:22,855 Speaker 3: of your due diligence free purchase is to actually go 1708 01:36:22,935 --> 01:36:25,695 Speaker 3: to council. You know, most councils have a building help desk. 1709 01:36:26,135 --> 01:36:28,335 Speaker 3: You could sit down and go okay, you know, with 1710 01:36:28,375 --> 01:36:33,535 Speaker 3: the planet, and their response typically their response. 1711 01:36:33,575 --> 01:36:36,015 Speaker 12: I'm still waiting for the planner to my care. 1712 01:36:36,775 --> 01:36:38,695 Speaker 11: But what were you? 1713 01:36:39,295 --> 01:36:42,375 Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm trying to do the right stuff. I guess 1714 01:36:42,415 --> 01:36:47,135 Speaker 12: I was more phased about that stako on the Have 1715 01:36:47,255 --> 01:36:48,975 Speaker 12: you ever seen it? Oh my gosh. 1716 01:36:49,015 --> 01:36:51,055 Speaker 9: Look it's a little bit like. 1717 01:36:51,015 --> 01:36:54,455 Speaker 3: That sort of Spanish effect, you know that. It's yeah, okay, 1718 01:36:54,815 --> 01:36:56,495 Speaker 3: people love that. Back in the day, it was the 1719 01:36:56,535 --> 01:36:57,375 Speaker 3: height of fashion. 1720 01:37:00,375 --> 01:37:01,415 Speaker 9: Yeah, I can. 1721 01:37:02,175 --> 01:37:08,855 Speaker 12: You can put up with it on the in the. 1722 01:37:08,175 --> 01:37:11,455 Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, that's right. You got standards to maintain. Hey, 1723 01:37:11,455 --> 01:37:14,215 Speaker 3: good luck with the process. All the very best you, Sarah, 1724 01:37:14,295 --> 01:37:17,295 Speaker 3: You take care all right? All of this then, oh, 1725 01:37:17,375 --> 01:37:19,975 Speaker 3: classic ridy.

The resident builder with light four solar save 1732 01:37:37,935 --> 01:37:40,935 Speaker 1: power had earned air boids dollars. 1733 01:37:41,095 --> 01:37:44,255 Speaker 3: News Talks it B, News Talks it B and Rudd 1734 01:37:44,255 --> 01:37:50,295 Speaker 3: along shortly, Mike, good morning to you. Hello, Mike, hang 1735 01:37:50,335 --> 01:37:51,215 Speaker 3: on there. How's that? 1736 01:37:51,375 --> 01:37:51,575 Speaker 10: There? 1737 01:37:51,615 --> 01:37:55,055 Speaker 8: You go get a Mike, Hi, Peter, thanks for taking 1738 01:37:55,055 --> 01:37:55,375 Speaker 8: my call. 1739 01:37:55,455 --> 01:37:55,815 Speaker 3: Pleasure. 1740 01:37:57,255 --> 01:38:00,415 Speaker 8: So I've got a nineteen fifty nine weatherboard house. It's 1741 01:38:00,455 --> 01:38:04,575 Speaker 8: got gable ends at the ends, and in the triangular 1742 01:38:04,895 --> 01:38:07,535 Speaker 8: part of the gable end there's board and bat Yes. 1743 01:38:08,255 --> 01:38:10,295 Speaker 8: And at the bottom of that board and baton there's 1744 01:38:10,335 --> 01:38:16,015 Speaker 8: a water break sill before the weatherboard underneath it. Yes, 1745 01:38:17,215 --> 01:38:20,975 Speaker 8: the flashing on the water break sill is interesting out. 1746 01:38:20,975 --> 01:38:23,855 Speaker 8: For a while, I've been doing sort of blog jobs 1747 01:38:23,895 --> 01:38:26,975 Speaker 8: on it. While it's just not really working. It's at 1748 01:38:26,975 --> 01:38:31,055 Speaker 8: the point where it needs replacing. But my concern is 1749 01:38:31,095 --> 01:38:34,655 Speaker 8: that it's very difficult to get it out without lifting 1750 01:38:34,735 --> 01:38:37,375 Speaker 8: up the board and bat and above yep. And I'm 1751 01:38:37,375 --> 01:38:38,895 Speaker 8: concerned and I'm not going to be able to do 1752 01:38:38,935 --> 01:38:43,295 Speaker 8: that without breaking them. So it's wondering what I was wondering, 1753 01:38:43,335 --> 01:38:46,015 Speaker 8: whether I could just rip a line above it and 1754 01:38:46,295 --> 01:38:48,895 Speaker 8: put another water brake sell on top of it and 1755 01:38:48,895 --> 01:38:50,975 Speaker 8: that would help me to get the flashing out. Or 1756 01:38:51,215 --> 01:38:52,335 Speaker 8: is that not advisable? 1757 01:38:53,375 --> 01:38:56,775 Speaker 3: Yeah, I see what you're saying. The corrosion on the 1758 01:38:56,855 --> 01:39:01,055 Speaker 3: existing flashing that's there. Is it like only on the 1759 01:39:01,095 --> 01:39:04,495 Speaker 3: front lip, or is the entire flashing all the way 1760 01:39:04,535 --> 01:39:07,375 Speaker 3: back to let's say where the building line. So typically 1761 01:39:07,735 --> 01:39:11,055 Speaker 3: this type of flashing, it comes down the building line, 1762 01:39:11,455 --> 01:39:14,775 Speaker 3: extends over the top of the weatherboards and then goes 1763 01:39:14,815 --> 01:39:17,975 Speaker 3: down again. And then they would have put the weather 1764 01:39:18,015 --> 01:39:19,895 Speaker 3: boards on, put the flashing on, put the board and 1765 01:39:19,935 --> 01:39:21,895 Speaker 3: baton above it, right, So there's a part of it 1766 01:39:21,935 --> 01:39:24,615 Speaker 3: that goes up behind the board and baton, which, like 1767 01:39:24,695 --> 01:39:26,855 Speaker 3: you say, without taking the board and baton off or 1768 01:39:26,855 --> 01:39:30,455 Speaker 3: prying them forward, is almost impossible to remove. 1769 01:39:32,615 --> 01:39:38,055 Speaker 8: Yeah, it's actually, it's quite it's quite common. It's not 1770 01:39:38,175 --> 01:39:40,095 Speaker 8: just on the front with that flashing. It's kind of 1771 01:39:40,135 --> 01:39:42,975 Speaker 8: sitting on the top that would you understand what I 1772 01:39:42,975 --> 01:39:45,295 Speaker 8: mean by a water brake sill. It's like a window 1773 01:39:45,375 --> 01:39:47,175 Speaker 8: sill that they've got at the bottom of the board 1774 01:39:47,215 --> 01:39:47,615 Speaker 8: and battern. 1775 01:39:47,855 --> 01:39:48,735 Speaker 3: Yes, it sort of. 1776 01:39:48,975 --> 01:39:51,815 Speaker 8: It overhangs the weatherboard underneath it. 1777 01:39:52,015 --> 01:39:54,895 Speaker 3: So is there actually a metal flashing over it at 1778 01:39:54,895 --> 01:39:57,135 Speaker 3: all or is it just the timber that's acting as 1779 01:39:57,175 --> 01:39:57,735 Speaker 3: the flashing. 1780 01:39:58,655 --> 01:40:02,575 Speaker 8: No, there is a metal flashing over the brake cell, right, 1781 01:40:03,055 --> 01:40:04,495 Speaker 8: and that's what's rusted out. 1782 01:40:04,535 --> 01:40:07,615 Speaker 3: And it's that flashing that's rusted out. And again, is 1783 01:40:07,655 --> 01:40:09,815 Speaker 3: that rusted all the way back, let's say, to the 1784 01:40:09,935 --> 01:40:12,255 Speaker 3: upstand at the back, or is it just kind of 1785 01:40:12,255 --> 01:40:13,215 Speaker 3: on the front edge. 1786 01:40:14,215 --> 01:40:17,295 Speaker 8: Yeah, No, it's rusted to where it goes vertical up 1787 01:40:17,295 --> 01:40:18,095 Speaker 8: and behind the board and. 1788 01:40:18,135 --> 01:40:19,535 Speaker 9: Bat and right. 1789 01:40:21,175 --> 01:40:28,415 Speaker 3: H The reason I was sort of asking so many 1790 01:40:28,495 --> 01:40:32,375 Speaker 3: questions about how corroded it is is, you know, depending 1791 01:40:32,455 --> 01:40:35,975 Speaker 3: on how exposed the area is, what the wind situation is, 1792 01:40:36,135 --> 01:40:40,455 Speaker 3: what this whether there's an eve or an overhang, et cetera. 1793 01:40:40,655 --> 01:40:43,295 Speaker 3: Is that you know, if it's relatively low risk right 1794 01:40:43,895 --> 01:40:47,455 Speaker 3: in terms of weather being driven in there, then you 1795 01:40:47,575 --> 01:40:51,375 Speaker 3: could just cut the corroded part of the flashing off, 1796 01:40:51,695 --> 01:40:57,175 Speaker 3: leaving the upstand and that first sloping section intact and 1797 01:40:57,255 --> 01:41:03,495 Speaker 3: sliding a new flashing underneath it. Now, it's not perfect, 1798 01:41:03,695 --> 01:41:06,295 Speaker 3: but it you know, it's enough to be a practic 1799 01:41:06,455 --> 01:41:09,375 Speaker 3: called repair without having to pull all of the batin 1800 01:41:09,455 --> 01:41:13,855 Speaker 3: and board off. Have you trotted? 1801 01:41:15,655 --> 01:41:16,015 Speaker 8: Okay? 1802 01:41:16,135 --> 01:41:23,495 Speaker 3: All right, yeah, no, that's fair enough. You know, sometimes, 1803 01:41:23,615 --> 01:41:27,695 Speaker 3: depending on the size of the gable, it might just 1804 01:41:27,855 --> 01:41:31,855 Speaker 3: be like with these jobs, sometimes you spend a lot 1805 01:41:31,855 --> 01:41:33,495 Speaker 3: of time trying to think of a quick way of 1806 01:41:33,535 --> 01:41:35,615 Speaker 3: doing it, and then you just go, if I just 1807 01:41:35,655 --> 01:41:38,335 Speaker 3: pulled the batinum board off and replaced it and did 1808 01:41:38,375 --> 01:41:40,735 Speaker 3: the flashing, I could possibly do that in the same 1809 01:41:40,775 --> 01:41:42,895 Speaker 3: amount of time as it takes me to fart around 1810 01:41:43,175 --> 01:41:45,255 Speaker 3: trying to think of a way of doing it without 1811 01:41:45,255 --> 01:41:46,295 Speaker 3: having to take them off. 1812 01:41:47,215 --> 01:41:47,415 Speaker 9: Yeah. 1813 01:41:47,895 --> 01:41:52,415 Speaker 8: Sometimes I've got a build a guy who has given 1814 01:41:52,455 --> 01:41:54,655 Speaker 8: me that same advice. I just wondered if there was 1815 01:41:55,095 --> 01:41:56,975 Speaker 8: a sneaky way that I could do it with it. 1816 01:41:57,335 --> 01:42:00,415 Speaker 3: And look, sometimes there is a sneaky way, or you know, 1817 01:42:00,735 --> 01:42:04,175 Speaker 3: a deep dark secret that's only shared among the initiated 1818 01:42:04,575 --> 01:42:06,415 Speaker 3: as to how to do these things. But every now 1819 01:42:06,455 --> 01:42:08,895 Speaker 3: and then it's just actually, I'm just going to pop 1820 01:42:08,975 --> 01:42:11,735 Speaker 3: those boards off. I might be able to reuse half 1821 01:42:11,775 --> 01:42:13,975 Speaker 3: of them, might be able to put some building paper on. 1822 01:42:14,015 --> 01:42:15,535 Speaker 3: At the same time, I might be able to get 1823 01:42:15,535 --> 01:42:18,135 Speaker 3: some insulation into an unexpected area, that sort of thing. 1824 01:42:18,335 --> 01:42:20,215 Speaker 3: And then I'm going to reinstate it, you know. And 1825 01:42:20,255 --> 01:42:23,575 Speaker 3: if it's a gable end, does the gable extend over 1826 01:42:23,615 --> 01:42:25,455 Speaker 3: the entire width of the building or is it just 1827 01:42:26,015 --> 01:42:28,015 Speaker 3: a portion of the front of the building. Like what 1828 01:42:28,055 --> 01:42:29,375 Speaker 3: would the width of the gable be. 1829 01:42:32,015 --> 01:42:36,615 Speaker 8: Maybe it's got two bedrooms, two bedrooms, why they small bedrooms? 1830 01:42:36,615 --> 01:42:38,215 Speaker 8: But okay, probably six meters. 1831 01:42:38,975 --> 01:42:40,895 Speaker 3: Ah okay, all right, that's quite a bit of work. 1832 01:42:41,375 --> 01:42:44,295 Speaker 3: I mean. The other thing to do along, just very quickly, 1833 01:42:44,375 --> 01:42:46,415 Speaker 3: along the lines of what you were talking about initially, 1834 01:42:46,575 --> 01:42:50,615 Speaker 3: is to, let's say, come up seventy five millimeters right 1835 01:42:51,095 --> 01:42:54,335 Speaker 3: from where the junction is between the board and batten 1836 01:42:54,575 --> 01:43:00,535 Speaker 3: and your timber break and cut that, ideally at a 1837 01:43:00,535 --> 01:43:03,775 Speaker 3: fifteen degree angle, so you're cutting the undercutting the boards, 1838 01:43:04,175 --> 01:43:07,215 Speaker 3: cut them off all the way along. Then you might 1839 01:43:07,215 --> 01:43:10,535 Speaker 3: be able to find that with a multi tool you 1840 01:43:10,535 --> 01:43:13,295 Speaker 3: can cut through any nails that might be there, and 1841 01:43:13,415 --> 01:43:16,255 Speaker 3: that will give you enough space to slide a new 1842 01:43:16,335 --> 01:43:19,055 Speaker 3: flashing up as far up as you can possibly go 1843 01:43:19,575 --> 01:43:21,495 Speaker 3: and then what you'll see is, instead of a neat 1844 01:43:21,695 --> 01:43:25,095 Speaker 3: junction or a closed junction between the board and baton 1845 01:43:25,175 --> 01:43:27,935 Speaker 3: and the top of your weather brake seal, you'll have 1846 01:43:27,975 --> 01:43:30,255 Speaker 3: a fifty mil up stand there. But you will be 1847 01:43:30,255 --> 01:43:32,495 Speaker 3: able to get a flashing in there. But you know, 1848 01:43:32,575 --> 01:43:34,775 Speaker 3: don't try and cut twenty mil off. That won't work. 1849 01:43:34,815 --> 01:43:36,935 Speaker 3: You'll have to cut at least forty or fifty mili off. 1850 01:43:38,055 --> 01:43:38,295 Speaker 4: Yeah. 1851 01:43:38,415 --> 01:43:44,095 Speaker 3: Yeah, So there's a couple of options there. That's all 1852 01:43:44,095 --> 01:43:46,815 Speaker 3: the very best, Take care, all the best. Right, let's 1853 01:43:46,855 --> 01:43:49,575 Speaker 3: jump into the garden.
